A chicken, a dog and a cow sat for tea,
And graciously offered to pour some for me.
So there we were sitting that fine summer day
When a big fight broke out, to my great dismay.
The chicken insisted she was best of the bunch,
But the cow disagreed, for she had a hunch
That babies need milk to grow strong and big,
And that eggs for babies aren't worth a fig.
The chicken squawked back an angry reply,
"Without eggs there'd be no meringue for your pie!
No cookies, no cakes, no omelettes to eat -
To cook without eggs would be quite a feat!"
On through the evening, and into the night,
The chicken and cow kept up a loud fight.
At last I decided to end all this bickering;
I turned to the dog, who sat softly snickering.
The dog gently placed his cup on his plate.
And said, "I think I can end this foolish debate!"
He looked at the chicken, he looked at the cow,
And he smiled a big smile and he said, "Hear me now!"
"Tomorrow at breakfast, you know what I'll eat -
Fried eggs and cold milk, for both are a treat.
But then comes lunch, and I'll keep this quite brief;
At lunchtime I'll chow on grilled poulty and beef."
"You might think it cruel, to eat friends for my lunch,
But by this time tomorrow, I'll be best of the bunch!"

Oct 3, 2007 | It was a cute idea and I really enjoyed this poem ^^
However, "fried eggs and warm milk" seems slightly odd to me. Shouldn't it be cold milk? (I mean, that's what I normally drink xD but it could just be me...)

I think most everyone drinks it cold, but somehow I pictured the dog wanting fresh from the cow.
Then again, the dog probably wouldn't want the eggs fried either! :)

Oct 3, 2007 | Hmm. yeah. you're probably right..."warm milk" will probably distract people out of the flow of the poem...
*wanders off to go tweak it*

Oct 3, 2007 | have you ever seen cats on a farm? They sit and beg for you to squirt them with warm milk straight from the cow!
