In a coop by the rice paddies so green,
Lived a Hen, a most industrious queen.
From sunrise to dusk, she'd work with such care,
While her friends lazed about, with nary a share.
The Dog loved his naps, the Cat chased butterflies bright,
The bookwormish Mouse, lost in stories of night.
The Hen, with a sigh, cleaned, gathered, and fed,
Wishing her friends would lend her a tread.
One day, tired and worn, with a devious glint,
The Hen chose to rest, not a single chore to stint.
The coop fell in disarray, a cluttered domain,
As the friends woke to their folly and pain.
The Dog with no bed, the Cat with no hay,
The Mouse with no breakfast, not a single stray seed they could say.
Shamefaced they came, with apologies true,
"Please help us, dear Hen, we'll see this chore through!"
From then on, they worked, a coop spick and span,
A lesson well learnt, for every woman and man.
Together they thrived, a coop strong,
Cooperation is the key, a moral lesson learnt.
