I WON'T HATCH! (Monday Poem)

by Shel Silverstein


Oh I am a chickie who lives in an egg,
But I will not hatch, I will not hatch.
The hens they all cackle, the roosters all beg,
But I will not hatch, I will not hatch.
For I hear all the talk of pollution and war
As the people all shout and the airplanes roar,
So I'm staying inside where it's safe and it's warm,
And I WILL NOT HATCH!



from A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein, 1981, Harper & Row
