A hen who's laid an egg frets she'll have to go barefoot, and a cock reports he's searched every shop in town for a shoe to fit her. The old-fashioned dialect words reward a slow, expressive read.
From Mother Goose / Nursery Rhymes (traditional). See the whole collection.
"Cock, cock, cock, cock,
I've laid an egg,
Am I to gang ba—are-foot?"
"Hen, hen, hen, hen,
I've been up and down
To every shop in town,
And cannot find a shoe
To fit your foot,
If I'd crow my hea—art out."
