Well, Dusty used to work with old John Dinsmore. Old John kept a lot of chickens he’d sell off for profit at Christmas.

Anyway, one night he forgot to lock the chicken-house.

Dusty walked in and stole the whole lot!

He put a notice on the hen-house door:

“Good Morning, John

Your hens are gone

Your cock will crow no more!

You went to bed

You sleepy head

And forgot to lock the door.”
