“Small Talk” by Jenny Erlanger

Every hen on earth says cluck
It’s always been that way,
and quack is all that any duck
could ever hope to say.
Roosters say a little more
with cock-a-doodle-doo”
but all you’ll hear from cows, for sure,
is just a simple moo.
Wouldn’t life have been a joke,
so utterly absurd
if all we humans ever spoke
was one shared earthling word.
