Nominate the sitting hens

While they cling to a screen wire

Watch them picking with their cut-off bills

Crown he fattest, crown the best

Breeding brooder that contest

In the competition that you give

Let's play a losing game

Versus the sickness and versus the pain

Versus the butcher again and again

The winning is rated

The bodies were sized

And the winner is ... prized

Nominate the perfect egg

And observe its innocence

Like the whiteness of a stillborn child

Crown the fattest, crown the best

Laying layer that contest

In the competition that you give

Let's play a losing game

Versus the sickness and versus the pain

Versus the butcher again and again

The winning is rated

The bodies were sized

And the winner is ... prized

Nominated to die

Prized
