So many years
ago in days
of my youth,
as i was
walking down
the street uptown
saw a sign
which read
baby chicks
only 1 penney
each, what
a deal that
was i said
to my self
so i bought
100 of them,
took them home,
my mom said
too many chicks
that would be.
she let me
keep a few,
the rest went
back to feed
store, thus
ending my dream
of fame and fortune
as a chicken king tycoon.
