The Lamb is in the oven,
the gravy is in the pot,
Now should Seedling get the laying Hens,
or do you think that she should not.

I think that she should get them,
Her decision she should make fast,
There's nothing like a new-laid egg
For a delicious breakfast.

Now Alan that was helpful,
For a lovey looking girl,
Now if Seedling buys the laying hens,
She might give us a twirl.

Now Seedling's in a quandry
With no idea what to do
Should she go for three birds?
Or should she stick with two?

She should surely go for three,
if not four or five,
'cos one gets awful lonely
if it's the only one alive.
Is this the only thread
in all the forum's time
that ended up with answers
all expressed in rhyme

I think i can remember,
Another merry tale,
That was written by a clever man,
And that was our dear Alan Refail.

Oh yes, now I remember it,
that's going back a while,
this verse might just remind you
how to pronounce

How right you are dear Alan,
I'm not too good with words,
So let's quickly change the subject,
Back to Seedlings birds.

Seedling I fear that, "Hey"
With Hens calling round the clock
You like Top Gear's May
will end up saying "Cock!"

Oh Smurfy
What you gone and done?
You didn't talk in rhyme.
It isn't very difficult
Just try and find the time

I don't know why I'm joining in
I really have no clue
the only thing I know for sure
is that I want chickens too!

Dear Retropants and Seedling,
If it's Hen's you really need,
Just go ahead and get them,
But what will be the breed?

Seedling, ewch i brynu
Tair neu bedair iâr,
Ond cofiwch beth ddywedais:
Peidiwch brynu pâr!
I'm sorry I've replied in Welsh,
I gave in to temptation.
So just to tell you what I mean
I add a rough translation.
Seedling, go and buy some hens;
You know it's right for you.
But just remember what I said,
And please don't buy just two!
