Historic Hen

There was once a historic hen
That confounded the thoughts of men
As time went on the plot would thicken
Which came first the egg or the chicken?
Still today the question does beg
Was it the chicken or the egg?
If men had only the wisdom of an owl
Would they give a hoot about any fowl?
Creationist were never in the dark
Quite sure that two chickens boarded the ark
Long before there was ever any clock
Farmers woke to the crowing of a cock
The hen pecked rooster is attached
To every clucking chick that ever hatched
Like a rogue fox straying from its den
The first hen evolved, we don't know when.
