The Kauai Chicken Story

I have been trying to clean out my stuff, but instead I keep finding treasures! Here is a poem I wrote in 2003 in response to the common question I kept receiving at Banana Joe's, "Where did all these chickens  on Kauai come from?"

                                               The Kauai Chicken Story

In the beginning, on the first day
The rooster had sex with the hen
And the rooster crowed and
The hen bru braacked!
And GOD said, "THAT WAS GOOD!"

Then on the third day
The rooster crowed and
The hen bru bru braaacked and
Behold! Seven eggs were laid
And GOD said, "UH, OH!"

So on the seventh day
When any sane GOD should be resting
The rooster crowed and
The hen bru bru bru braaacked and
Behold! The seven eggs hatched!
And GOD said, "AREN'T THEY CUTE!"

Then GOD said,
"LET US DECLARE CHICKENS AN
ENDANGERED SPECIES ON KAUAI AND
LET US OUTLAW MONGOOSE ON KAUAI AND
LET US DECLARE A LEASH LAW FOR DOGS ON KAUAI."
And the rooster crowed, and the hen bru bru braacked and
The baby chicks peep peep peep peep peep peep peep peeped and
Then GOD added, "LET US FORCE ALL HUMANS TO ONLY EAT
TOFU CHICKEN"

And the rooster crowed and
The hen bru bru bru bru braaacked
And the baby chicks grew up.
Then the baby rooster had sex with the baby hen
And the baby rooster crowed and
The baby hen bru braacked!
And GOD said, "AH, THAT WAS GOOD!" Again and
               Again............and
                         Again.............and
                                                                    Again..............and
                                                                          Again.

So that is my answer to that question! Hehe!
