A Chicken in Every Pot

I don’t think what Hoover meant
When he made his vow
That hens would be ornament
Rather than some chow

While they do lay eggs for me
Protein for my plate
Have me laughing happily
Supper’s not their fate.

(A 7/5 Trochee Poem)
I love the twist at the end! And the lilting tune of the ‘Trochee’ goes very well with your subject matter!
Of course, I can’t hope to compare, but I just uploaded a ‘7/5 Trochee’ of my own onto my blog. It’s linked below. I’d love it if you would look over it and leave me some advice on how to improve. Thanks!
