There once was a hen who moved to a farm
who then found with some alarm,
that friends she did lack,
and so fast as a crack,
she set out to share with others, her charm.
The first creature she did drop by
was a fine rooster who caught her eye.
She called out to say
that is was a fine day,
and hoped that a new friend she did spy.
Hen and Rooster strutted to the pond
and saw a duck with whom they'd like to bond.
"We are looking for a pal
who can show us the locale."
"And that I can do," the duck did respond.
The trio trotted over a hill,
and found another creature with a bill.
"Would you like to be our friend?"
"Alone I have had to fend,
and so having new friends would be brill."
As the four continued their stroll
they came over a grassy knoll.
A proud turkey called to them
"Hello, er, eh hem,
would you mind if, with you, I did roll?"
The five feathered friends came upon
an animal with a toothy yawn.
They greeted the fox
and then had great talks.
And so all six had found chums to call on.
