poem to our chickens

Background:

1) Shorting of daylight hours causes a decline in egg production in chickens.
2) My wife's not feeling well.

So I sent her the following Limerick to read to our chickens:

Although a hen egg is quite fillin'
my wife has no qualms about killin'
a hen that stops layin'.
You'd better start prayin'
she don't need Jewish penicillin.
