fighting over the chicken feed all going nuts
droves of no-goods such perfect match
flamboyant they deck out, a bossy swagger
or sincere or victimized they put on their best act
cocksure animals trump up their morning mood
cackling clucking and henpeck all nights
well, you must put up with them for their treats
the tricks they keep you guessing bad eggs or duds
sitting on pins and needles you sigh and hope
for the good deal they promise you over the hills
the old saying says if it waddles and quacks...
but you say maybe this time it’s not a duck
they know your soft spot, your buttons and trigger
and you be glad your anger makes you feel alive.
