It was like she was dancing for her life. Her little stick legs were flying as she twirled round, little legs doing the Two-Step then there was a bit of the Can Can thrown in as Martha spun, dipped, legs flying sideways at one point, wings were flapping, head thrown backwards, beak open, as she bobbed up and down and swayed from side to side, with the arse wiggling and the little stick legs began to shuffle sideways to the right then to the left, as she began to Tango down the long counter. Mr Finleyson gave Gilbert a nudge and said, "Look at Martha go"! Every single police officer and civilian worker in the station had now gathered to watch Martha dance! She was light on her feet as she did the Lindy, then broke into a bit of jiving followed up by the Locomotion with a hint of break dancing thrown in! It was when she started to do the Cha Cha that the crowd went wild! When she finally stopped, she again looked at Gilbert and Mr Finleyson and looked as if she had winked at them again! Everyone who stood watching, went over to pat Martha on the head and were cooing at her. The desk sergeant then shouted over to Mr Finleyson, "Do your other hens dance"? Mr Finleyson nodded as he had seen Martha over the years in the barn on a rainy or winter's day, trying to teach the young hens to dance. She was in charge and it looked like a dance class was in progress! Instead of people, there were hens dancing. Yes, Martha was the matriarch of the hens on his farm. It was Martha's way or the highway! Mr Finleyson returned from his daydreaming to answer the desk sergeant. "Yes sir, they all love a dance. Martha taught them all over the years to dance! The desk sergeant replied, "Would you mind if we brought them through from the kennels to have a little dance with your Martha here"? Mr Finleyson replied, "No, I don't mind. The dancing will be good for them to stretch their little legs and get some much needed exercise"! The sergeant then motioned for two policemen to go out to the kennels and bring them back in their cages. They left to go and get them. A few minutes later, the officers were back, each carrying a cage. They set them down on the floor and opened the cage doors. The eight hens wandered out of their cage and began to walk around. Martha became very excited and vocal when she spotted her little friends. She began to rock from side to side as she spun round. One of the policemen who had gathered round, lifted Martha off the counter and gently put her on the floor to join her hen friends. She went straight to them and they greeted each other with excitement. Everyone who was standing in the large booking hall moved backwards as far as they could to give Martha and the other hens space to run around in!
