A gorgeous winter’s day
Forced us out to play
The kids and every hen
We opened up their pen
We crunched around the land
Sometimes hand in hand
The kitties pounced and played
Both looking for their prey
Poor Charlie wanted out
To sniff and roam about
Too soon the sun went down
We went in with a frown
The days are getting longer
The warmth is getting stronger
We’ll soon be out all day
To garden, prune and play
a pinch of homestead
