Does it work?
I never tried reciting poetry to my chooks - do you Zondrae? Always found a tin of corn or a bucket of scraps worked really well in getting them to do what I wanted them to do.
Come to think of it the human female variety of young chicks aren't much smarter are they - feed them a heap of corn and throw them a few scraps and the reaction is pretty much the same.
Cheers

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

No handouts I'm afraid, we've all been "sold out". By all of them!

Re: Why us blokes write poetry
now Martyboy that TV show shes all wrong you see marty Byron and poetry is not the way to get chicks
I my day, mind you it was some years ago you’d take a Sheila to the pub
Then you’d go to the rodeo where you’d try on a little Bull sometimes with out much luck as you ended flat on YOUR back
You’d then you’d adjourn to a restaurant or an eating house where you would banter backwards and forward over a little Bull (steak of coarse) and a few sherbets, (fizzy drinks) of coarse where you thought she was a little lamb and tried to pull the wool over her eyes
Now in modern days if you ain’t got a million dollars in the bank a flash car you ain’t got a chance brother
