Hildy the Hen
My hen, Hildy, has a secret
Of the most amazing kind.
For Easter she laid patterned eggs
That she, herself, designed:
Eggs with diamonds,
Eggs with stars,
Eggs with twinkly-winkly bars,
Eggs with crescents,
Eggs with flowers,
And two eggs with rainbow showers!
My hen Hildy is a marvel.
She’s a darling and a dear.
Best of all, she promised me
To lay them every year!
