Mrs. Carmichael Our laying hen had chicks and we Had gone out to the coop to see The little balls of yellow down Although the hen herself was brown. My sister, who was only ten, Had picked one up, walked round the pen And then declared when mother came, Mrs. Carmichael was its name. It was different than the rest And had a dark spot on its chest. Of course we laughed, especially when It was a rooster, not a hen. She didn't care or change her mind. For many years we'd always find Where she was, there was the other. I guess he thought she was his mother! Betty Lou Hebert |

BettyLou~ You share such cute memories in rhyme~ This one reminds me of a little tale my steppie-sis and I share about an Easter gift of a purple chick that she received from a friend of mine ... that was probably nearly 45 (+) years ago and we still always ask about *Margaret* the purple chick~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ HI MY RONNIE  ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

This is cute. I hatched a chick on the windowsill once when I was small. The egg had been sold to us at the grocery store but looked suspicious. I named her Clementine and she lived to a happy old age and was spared from the pot. Joyce |

"The Other Mrs. Carmichael" Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed this. We never knew where my sister came up with that name, as none of us knew a Carmichael, but she was sure determined about it! Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Dear Marge: A purple chick is even more fascinating than a rooster named "Mrs. Carmichael!" You should write a poem about it! Ronnie says "hi" back! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Dear Joyce: Thanks! I guess most of us who lived on farms have a chick in their background somewhere! They are so cute it's hard not to make a pet out of at least one! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

This makes me smile and remember our female rabbit named "Sarge" -- we couldn't understand why Sarge would not breed with my little female. Go figure. xoxoxo Happy Thanksgiving. Love, Alison |

Oh I am so glad Alison dug this up as I had never seen it - how adorable! I could see a children's book of poetry with this being in it.  Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. |
