The moorhen, Chickenus supermuch, is a
fearsome and vengeful water bird from the
Dark Side. Despite this, they frequently live
alongside humans, where their fondness for
stale bread matches well with society's
wasteful habits. Their quirky characters
and colourful accents bring delight to all ages.
It's called a moorhen
because it tastes
like chicken, but even
more so -it's "more hen".
Massive feet allow it to grasp huge
prey, but create a disadvantage
in winter when they have to order
slippers from specialist manufacturers.
Never look into it's blood red eye, which
allows it to hypnotise it's enemies.
The colourful beak
advertises the moorhen's
deadly venom. A single
peck would be enough
to floor a T-Rex!
Long green legs
let it hide by
lying on it's back
and pretending to
be a pair of mini
palm trees.
