THE SAVIOUR

Farmer lifted Chicken Licken

from the hungry foxes fangs,

held her tight and safe

as the foxes drooled and growled.

‘There, little bird’ he crooned,

‘my precious little hen,

safe from harm and nasty beasts,

within my steadfast arms’.

Chicken Licken’s little heart

began to settle slow,

as she nestled into Farmer’s arms,

and began to cluck and crow.

Safe on her lofty perch

she cackled at the foxes waiting,

your empty bellies won’t be filled

with Farmer here to save me.
