Tinier than tiny
Not even an inch
Perhaps a bit grimy
‘Bout the size of a pinch

With a body that’s yellow,
Reddish orange on the tips
You’re a cute clucky fellow
With cute clucky lips

You hold quite a tale
Of why you are dear
For ne’er does it fail
To make me grin ear to ear

It started in high school
With a Corbis E-card
We thought we were so cool
For in our cards chickens starred

It was my cousin Penny
Who sent the first chicken
A heavenly henny,
I was chicken stricken!

I had to reply
To send one of my own
A chicken so fly
Electronically flown

Back over to Penny
Went my chicken response
To which we sent many
More chickeny taunts

The options were endless
For pictures of poultry
I mean really tremendous
Some silly, some sultry

Well it was bound to happen
A natural progression
The chickens were flappin’
For a bigger impression

Soon we were sending
Chicken themed things
Our fun never ending
For fowlish findings

There’s one I’ll remember
(Your older big brother)
The 25th of December
A gift like no other

He was made out of rubber
And if he was squeezed
He’d scream like a nutter
Yes, Penny was pleased

For my brother’d given Nik
A gift from his heart
It was his perfect pick
A machine that could fart

The machine came alive
The screaming had started
So one could contrive
That the chicken had farted

Oddly enough
You weren’t from my cousin
But a little bit of fluff
From a company hustlin’

Free samples to Nik
To his office at work
Because a tiny rubber chick
Is a funny little perk

So he gave you to me
And you I did take
As my chicken memory
My clucky keepsake

Now you are kept
In my purse pocket
Forever adept
In making my joy rocket
