Thankful for New Chickens on Thanksgiving!

I "wrote" a song for my new chickens & Dru the Roo, now also known as Mal, Captain Tight Pants.  

It combines my love of three randomly awesome things: 
(1) chickens, 
(2) Cake, and 
(3) Firefly.

I am quite possibly the only person on the planet that can appreciate this little ditty.  I am quite possibly the only one that reads The Chicken Lawyer blog, so I am ok with that...

I want a man with a mind like a captain
I want a man who knows what's best
I want a man with coops (that’s plural)
And eyes that spot all the insects

I want a man with the right allocations
Who's fast and thorough
And shiny as a tack
He is ruling the farmyard
He's putting up a nest
He's touring the backyard
And picking up scratch

I want a man with short spurs and a Browwwwwn jacket

I want a man who gets up early!
I want a man who stays up late!
I want a man with uninterrupted Serenity
Who escapes the old Farmer Whedon’s machete
With access to treats like molasses
And a crow that is loud like alarm sirens

He is fast and thorough
And shiny as a tack
He's touring the backyard
And picking up scratch

I want a man with short spurs and a browwwwwwn brown jacket

I want a man with a smooth disposition
I want a man who always defends
At the cedars we will meet accidentally
We'll start to chat when he saves me watermelon

He wants a coop with The Chicken Fountain(TM)
He wants a tractor that will get him there
He's changing his name from Dru to Mal
He's trading his Scoobies for four new hens a layin

Mal’s their man with short spurs and a Browwwwwwwn jacket

Happy Thanksgiving from The Chicken Lawyer & Her Chickens!

The End.
