Found another chicken dead

Out behind the barn

Eaten up and full of flies

Summer has begun



The heat is making waves again

Across the fields in back

And me i'm waging war again

Waiting for attack



Breakfast ended early when

A quart of milk was dropped

The puddle made had nearly dried

Before the screaming stopped



I finally fixed the screen today

To keep out the flies

I just can't stand them landing

On my face at night



And when i am done

And they come to take me home

I will not go

Without a battle no

'cause at the end of the line

I'm afraid that i will find

That i've spent all my time

Disappointed
