the hen and the carp - elizabeth maconchy lyrics

Loading...

once, in a roostery
there lived a speckled, and when*
ever she laid an egg this hen
ecstatically cried:
‘o progeny miraculous, particular spectaculous
what a wonderful hen am i!’

down in a pond nearby
perchance a fat and broody carp
was basking, but her ears where sharp **
she heard dame cackle cry:
‘o progeny miraculous, particular spectaculous
what a wonderful hen am i!’

‘ah, cackle,’ bubbled she
‘for your single egg, o silly one
i lay at least a million;
suppose for each i cried:
“o progеny miraculous, particular spectaculous!”
what a hullaballoo there’d bе!’
