A dandelion-yellow chick
Lately has lost her smooth white cap
With edges chipped out tap by tap
And peck by peck and tick by tick.
She moves with careful steps between
Her mother's not-too-careful strides,
And with a careless foot collides,
And falls (kerplunk!) sans any teen.
Today as small as a mother wren,
She'll soon outsize a mother dove,
Then shortly after will she prove
A natural mother—a mother hen.
