An epic battle: Boris the Balagoola versus a strange, three-legged fowl!
No one--not even the author--recalls what prompted the conversion of a regular story into this poem. But here it is.
Some help, here: tsuris=trouble, halavai=hooray, mishuga=crazy, luchen kup=hole in the head (idiomatically); verklempt=discombulated, a mess!
