Chicken little

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

CHICKEN LITTLE When the doctor checked my blood, And found high cholesterol, He said to change my diet, And never fry, but boil. He gave me many pointers On how to get relief, And first thing on the list to do Was cut out all the beef. Eat no eggs or ice cream, No foods fried finger lickin' Eat lots of fish both boiled and poached, And especially white meat chicken. So now the meals that I partake Are really smelling foul, Of poultry boiled and poultry baked, And coddled, spiced or mild. I have eaten so much chicken That, instead of my usual song, I crow first thing every morning And scratch and peck all day long.
