8:00 am

Gully’s Chick, His Offspring

is alone on M(eye) Backyard Grass

bleating His squeaky bleat

full grown butt brown.

He’s been on The Deck

several times already,

eating Gully’s Baked Beans for Breakfast

butt today He’s on His Own,

as Eye am

alone with no Parents

too far grown into Life

2 be in Their Company.
