That chicken Pushkin
Was known throughout the land

Apparently . . Hens used to come
From other yards for miles around
When their usual rooster’s back was turned
To hear his latest morning poem
High up there on the barn

Love or war
It made no difference to his craw
He had in fact one simple rule
Whatever it took of cluck in verse
To get those birds to lay

Then one day
When we had as guests
Poets averse to such companionship  
Pushkin concluded his linguistic pirouettes
On a plate


Finis

HaHa, I think I know that guy.....

In fact I'm dead certain of it, and I ran into him here!
