The Chicken and The Egg

Fred has a serious problem with alcohol 
About that there is no doubt 
To keep his drinking under control 
He limits the nights that he goes out
 

On a recent night out with his buds

Fred drank too much — and more 

A companion drove him home

Managed to sneak him in the door

 

Fred stumbled silently to his bed

Slipped in without awakening his wife

Thus, avoiding a late-night lecture 

About how he lives his life

 

He realized his drinking had done him in

When he woke up at the Pearly Gates 

Fred said “I need to go back, St Peter,

So much life still awaits!”

 

St. Peter said I can send you back

But it will have to be as a chicken

Fred accepted this odious offer

Though he longed for a better picking. 

 

His first day as a chicken 

Another hen welcomed him to the flock

Said if you’ve never laid an egg before 

The first time can be a shock

 

Fred says “I do feel pressure building

Feels like my stomach might explode.”

The other hen said just relax

We’ve all been down that road

 

Fred laid a couple of eggs

And settled comfortably in the yard

When suddenly someone grabbed him

And shook him really hard 

 

He started to awaken 

Things weren’t as they seemed

He wasn’t in a barnyard 

It was all a drunken dream

 

His wife was shaking him awake

He wasn’t really dead!

She yelled “Fred, you are clucking like a chicken 

And you’re pooping in the bed!”
