Twenty Chickens for a Saddle

Kind of a Roger Miller-esque thingy that popped out this morning. Only with a 4001...

Twenty Chickens for a Saddle

Life on the farm
Was cozy and warm
I used to cherish our days together
And what I loved best
Was to build our nest
In any kind of weather
Two birds of a feather
Now you're mean and now you're cruel
You turned me into a henpecked fool
But I got a bum spine
So I painted me a sign
And I tacked it up next to the mule:

Twenty chickens for a saddle
Any kind will do
Can't fight another battle
Just makes me blue
I don't care about the cattle
I'm up the creek without a paddle
Twenty chickens for a saddle
That'll take me away from you

My sweet loving wife
Was the joy of my life
But these days I just feel like dyin'
It's a lot like Hell
Walking on an eggshell
Now I'm tired of tryin'
And I'm tired of cryin'
You're always yelling and you're always mad
I'm gonna ride away and I'll be glad
But it hurts my spine
So I went online
And I posted me up this ad:

Twenty chickens for a saddle
Any kind will do
Can't fight another battle
Just makes me blue
I don't care about the cattle
I'm up the creek without a paddle
Twenty chickens for a saddle
That'll take me away from you

At the grocery store
I was struck by lightning
Saw a note on the board
In my wife's handwriting:

Twenty chickens for a saddle
Any kind will do
Can't fight another battle
Just makes me blue
I don't care about the cattle
I'm up the creek without a paddle
Twenty chickens for a saddle
That'll take me away from you
