Matthew 5: The Salty Dipsy Doodle Dancer

“You are the salt of the earth, but if you lose your flavor, how can you regain your seasoning? Flavorless salt is useless. It is only good for throwing out and trampling upon.” (Matt. 5: 13)

Pearl felt that her ability to make costumes and put on comedy shows helped her to be the salt that Jesus spoke about. Doing those things definitely set her apart from the other chickens, and her comedy shows were definitely gave a special flavor to life in The Backyard Garden.


If you have read her book How to Explain Christmas to Chickens, you will remember that “The Dipsy Doodle” is the song Pearl danced to as she finished her Comedy Coop Show.

As you listen, try to imagine Pearl dancing with wild abandon! It’s a song about doing the opposite of what you might expect.
