For chicken lovers

Olive was an Orpington
who wished she'd been hard wired,
for every day just after lunch
she got extremely tired.

When really low on energy
she'd spit upon her comb
and jam it in those three point plugs
you have around the home.

After 30 minutes
she'd be recharged again;
it's just a thing you have to do
if you're a battery hen.
