The Spring Chicken

Author: Carolyn Wells [More Titles by Wells]

Here's the Spring Chicken. I have heard
They manufacture this queer bird
From bits of leather and of strings
All joined and worked by tiny springs.
Whenever this fine fowl is broiled,
Each of his springs should be well oiled,
Or he may spring across the room
And plunge his carver into gloom.

[The end]
Carolyn Wells's poem: Spring Chicken
