The Test Called ILearn

The clock shimmied by

As I tried to finish

The test called ILearn.

Time started to diminish

As I tried to churn

Through the test called ILearn. 

Time was almost out

As I struggled to complete

The test called ILearn.

I’m done, I’m through, What a marvelous feat!

I have done well

On the test called ILearn.

My Chickens

My Chickens

I throw on my boots,

Lumber out the garage door

Grab the egg-basket

Run to my dinosaurs

From the pen comes a squabble

“Be patient, girls!” I cry

I throw old food to them

And watch them eat, horrified 

I slip in the pen, 

mouse-tiptoe to the coop

The food sustains them now,

But I sense my dino-doom

I open the nesting box, 

They pounce to save their eggs

Thirteen pointy spears,

All aimed at my legs!

With eggs in hand, 

I run out of the pen

Those terrifying dinos

Are actually my chickens!
