Chattering

Clucking, clucking goes the hen Across the barnyard again and again With worthless chatter, as that hen gets fatter Clucking about what or even who knows when. But soon no more clucking will be heard, As on my dinner plate I will serve that bird. Gossiping, gossiping goes the wife Another facet of her busy life Telling her stories, about men, women, girls and boys Bullying, infidelity and physical abuse is also rife. But one day though all of her gossiping will end, When she loses her husband and she has not a friend. Squeak, Squeak goes the mouse As it darts in and out and about the house Throughout the day, food is its only prey Ends up frightening myself and the spouse. But soon enough mousie it will find its bread, As it will be in the trap and it will be dead.
