but when they are allowed to run at large and
destroy other peoples property they. become a
perfect nuisance, and the following lines,
penned by a neighbor who has suffered the
ravages of these pests, are suggestive of rem
edy, and the writer says he will resort to dras-
tic measures if this warning is not needed:
Somebody's chickens are running about!
Joe, are they yOursH Joe. are they yours?
Hunting their food, or they might go without;
Obi tell me, Joe, are they yours?
Somebody's chickens are doing some harm
If they continue they II land at the farm;
Trusting this notice will cause some alarm.
Please tell me, Joe, are they yoursP
Somebody's chickens are running about!
Nelse, are they yours Nelse. are they yours
Preparing their bodies for Christmas no doubt |;
Oh tell me, Nelse, are they yours?
Somebody's chickens can scratch like q cat,
Soon their owner won't know where they're at,
For there's neighbor who owns good bat;
Please tell me, Nelse. are they yours9
Somebody's chickens are bound to get stungl
Mack, are they yours Mack, are they yours?
After the stinging they III surely be hung;
OH tell me Mack are they yours2
Somebody's chickens uncovered my beds,
Causing loss they will pay with their heads,
Then to make salad be torn into shreds;
Please coop them, Mack, If they're yours.
Somebody's chickens have camped on my lawn !!
Tom, are they yours Tom, are they yours?
Their Growing is heard every morning at dawn |!
Oil tell me, Tom, are they yours?
Somebody's chickens have need to be fed
All summer they scratched on my flower beds,
Very soon their nice feathers will all be dyed red
Act promptly, Tom. If they're yours.
