the chicken, feeling a bit leaner  
but having heard that grass is greener  
and greener grass means fatter worms  
(what chickens eat will make you squirm)  
did try to check out the said grass  
in trying so, she did, alas  
have to cross over a big road  
she did not reach her new abode  
no, there she lies, sadly she's stricken  
the road, you see, does not play chicken
