Landed in the Herzig Adventure Farm and Corn Maze
Penelope the Pea-Popping Pigeon came down from out of the sky,
She landed in our corn maze, and there refused to fly.
We watched her from our watch tower, and wondered what she’d do,
She smelled all the corn stalks and tightened up her shoes.
Penelope the Pea-Popping Pigeon suddenly began to walk,
And tripping over a haybale, she fell on her face in the stalks.
Corn was stuck on the end of her beak, more was on her head,
She looked around and thought for sure, she simply must be dead.
Penelope the Pea-Popping Pigeon got bored with our maze and corn,
Flew over the wall and landed in the Herzig Adventure Farm, where all the cows were born
Landed in Our Halloween Haunted House

She landed in our Halloween haunted house, and there refused to fly
We watched her from our living room, and wondered what she’d try,
She grabbed the screeching owl and kissed the pirate’s eye.
And peering in our window her heart leapt with joy,
As she watched a perky pint-sized costume-wearing boy.
Through the window Penelope watched and wondered what he’d dare,
He licked a hairy spider and put it in his hair.
Penelope the Pea-Popping Pigeon gave up the idea of eating,
Then flew off to join the children for a night of Trick-or-Treating

The buzzer sounded–the crowd wanted to hide,
But Penelope the Pea-Popping Pigeon continued the crazy ride.

Was caught in the branches of our Christmas tree, with tensile around her wings.
A cranberry was stuck on the end of her beak, another was on her head,
