Nobody Here but U.S. Chickens

by Pearl Leona Sturgis

The wolf put on the doctor's cap
and sharpened up his claws.
Today we have the proven "fax"
of his promoted cause.

The object is the henhouse;
the chickens and the eggs;
So first on his agenda ...
are the roosters' wings and legs.

When they have no legs to stand
and have no wings to fly...
The wolf computes his brilliant plan
and promulgates "The Lie"!

He spreads his propaganda news
across the neighborhoods
till all the clean white chickens choose
to call it brotherhood.

The mother hens then leave their nest
to do God's very will.
The clean white chickens all confess
it's prophesy fulfilled.

The wolves control the switches
to borrow, steal or beg.
The helpful little witches
destroy all the eggs.

They gather up the fragments
with the mutilated parts
while all the clean white chickens
pray God will bless their hearts!

Then just before the full devour
the big bad wolf decides
to grant them legislative power
and fill them full with pride.

They legislate a firm decree
to wring all critics' necks.
The big fat hens say that would be
politically correct.

But once a lowly shepherd boy
knew God was on His throne.
He killed a mighty giant ...
with a tiny little stone.

That same God still reigns today
for body, heart and soul.
The big bad wolves just run away
when God is in control.

They fear a child who trusts the One
whose years shall never fail.
To this day that's why these wolves
still try to hide their trail.
