once he had many hens

Once he had many hens
All looking for him
He just had to crock it
The hens would run

He has his time
The heydays of yesterday
He remembered it so well
He has his broods
He lives like king

Then one day
All the hens gone
The bird flu came
He was away

All dead and gone
He didn’t know what to say
Now he is alone on the street
He doesn’t care any more

He struts his way
Maybe the cars will knock him down
Else the motorcyclists run him over
He says who cares now
All my hens are gone
I am alone
In this big town
