It's been fun reading all the chicken lyrics!
Maybe this could work to the tune of a traditional jig......
Saddled With 20 Chickens © joice marie 2008
My friend Tall Ben Had a hen house with 20 hens
He died I cried It's a mess , and I'm not gonna lie
now I'm saddled with 20 chickens and don't know what to do
No kin To call in They cackle all day Stuck in their pen
No sleep I count sheep Wish I knew, if they're mine to keep
'cause I'm saddled with 20 chickens and don't know what to do Instrument break.......
I know! I'll sew All the feathers Into a pillow
Drumsticks fried crisp Tasty meals are on my list
'cause I'm saddled with 20 chickens and don't know what to do
With some luck And Ben's truck I'll take them To be plucked
Poor Ben It's the end I won't be saddled with 20 chickens
Poor Ben It's the end I won't be saddled with 20 chickens

Howdy JM,
I'll agree with Allen on all counts. I've always been impressed with the risks you take in format....and I think the ability to learn then break the rules is the sign of a true artist.
Take care... Beth

Hi Joice, I always enjoy the way you put words together. I know you're probably "cookin' up" some cool music for this too....it's so singable! Simple, fun, creative! Enjoyed it. Kristi

I think you have the lyrics lined up choppy which will make for a good jig if you go that direction. Tasty meals can't resist works also. Take care.
Best, Lynn

Joice,
May I have your permission to use this lyric in the "Hook Hunter's Heaven" project in the chapter on how an individual lyricist's life experience and unique perspective affect the development of a Community Hook in different directions? I would note your name, your copyright info, and mark "Used By Permission" to ensure your rights are retained for all other uses.
It may be not all the lyrics generated by the 20 Chickens hook will fit into the chapter. But I will try to include as many as I can fit in.
If you will give this permission, please let me know by email: <SkipJohnson777@gmail.com>
Thanks!
Skip
