I Listen to My Chicken

I listen to my chicken
as she sings her cheerful song.
I'm tickled with my turkey
as he gobbles right along.

My duck sings so delightfully.
I love my rooster's rap,
and when my Cornish game hen croons
it makes me want to clap.

I give my goose a gander
and I giggle as she chimes,
for when it comes to poultry
I prefer the kind that rhymes.
