The Famine

Title:     The Famine
Author: Clarence James Dennis [More Titles by Dennis]

Cackle and lay, cackle and lay!
How many eggs did you get to-day?
None in the manger, and none in the shed,
None in the box where the chickens are fed,
None in the tussocks and none in the tub,
And only a little one out in the scrub.
Oh, I say! Dumplings to-day.
I fear that the hens must be laying away.

[The end]
Clarence James Dennis's poem: Famine
