Five Little Chickens

Said the first little chicken,

With a strange little squirm,

"I wish I could find

A fat little worm."

Said the second little chicken,

With an odd little shrug,

"I wish I could find

A fat little bug."

Said the third little chicken,

With a sharp little squeal,

"I wish I could find

Some nice yellow meal."

Said the fourth little chicken,

With a small sigh of grief,

"I wish I could find

A little green leaf."

Said the fifth little chicken,

With a faint little moan,

"I wish I could find

A wee gravel stone."

"Now see here," said the mother,

From the green garden patch,

"If you want any breakfast,

Just come here and scratch!"
