    Icelandic Riddle
    Two feathered flappers came together,
    Panting and pushing in the open air.
    The bright-haired girl, flushed and proud,
    Grew big in the belly if the work was good.
    Now scholars may need these letters to know
    What I'm talking about: O and C,
    N and E, K and H, and another C.
    The tumblers twist to the letters' key
    As the treasure-door swings open
    So that solvers can see in the heart
    Of the riddle, craft and play. Carousing men
    May know the names of the low-down lovers!

    It is a cock and hen. I was stumped too - was looking for a different bird. I shared your Chelsea Clinton joke with my oldest son and he nearly died laughing. He said you might have something there. Lol

    A cock and a hen. I have chickens out back and I was sitting here trying to figure it out while looking right at them!
