Eight-line Poems 2

World Farm Animals Day

Farm Animals

‘Tis in the farmer’s best interest
to keep his animals happy,
for ill and dejected beasts
leaves the consumer a thwarted chappie.

‘Twas only industrialised farming,
with battery chickens and the like,
that soured the whole idea,
giving clients a reason to gripe.
