A
man in our town
Got this dispatch today
From
nephew Henry Brown
Two hundred miles away:
“Can’t
make my city trip,
It does beat all, by gum!
A
chicken’ got the pip –
I’ve got to stay to hum.”
April
8, ‘10
pip - to break through the shell of the egg
- to break open (the shell of an egg) in hatching

Chicken ‘hum’ - Singing-Usually rapidly repeated notes with some amount of randomness. Similar to someone happily humming as they go about their business. It says “All is well.”
