Across The Road One Chicken Went

Across the road one chicken went
To see how life over there was spent

Then two more chickens across they flew
Finding nothing better to do

Three chickens now across did race
Barely able to keep up the pace

Soon four more chickens came a'clucking
Looking for a baby duckling

And when five chickens that road did cross
They voted First Chicken to be The Boss

Came six more chickens to join the fun
Sprinting across in a headlong run

Then seven chickens crossed to see
If they would be in time for tea

Eight chickens more came across soon after
Tired of being alone in the rafters

The next nine chickens arrived quite loudly
Cheering Boss First Chicken very proudly

When more chickens came in a group of ten
Why, First Chicken want back across again!
