Said the first little chicken, With a queer little squirm, "I with I could find A fat little worm" Said the next little chicken, With an odd little shrug, "I wish I could find A fat little slug." 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."
