First Line: Said the first little chicken
Last Line: Just come here and scratch
Variant Title(s): Five Little Chickens
Subject(s): Chickens;wishes


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."
"Now, see here," said the mother,
From the green garden patch,
"If you want any breakfast,
Just come here and scratch."
