Chicken Little's Very Bright Day

the bears of three went wandering

and this is what they found

Chicken Little fluttering staring at the ground

they said to him and scratched their chins 

what's wrong with you today

the sky the sky poor Little cried;

was all that he could say.

the bears looked up and they looked down

and nothing did they see

a dust of snow just covering

and barely all the trees.

oh CL you misunderstood

the weather cast last night

and up and down the neighborhoods

you must have caused a fright

for all the people down the street

are glued to their tvs

and sure as sure each one of them

it must be WWIII.

Chicken sighed and he looked shy

to think how much he fussed

the bears said hey it's not that bad

come home with us for brunch..

and have some berries in a bowl

and porridge on the side.

and take a nap on Ma's green couch

and cast your fears aside.

so chicken little started out

and then was glad to see

a cottage dear all in the clear

and places set for three.\

then piped up little baby bear

Ill do my one good deed

and let you have my baby stool

cuz you're a lot like me.

then they all laughed

the day turned gold

the page was turning too

and now the story's done my child

and all your worries too

keep this in mind and just be kind

and you will stick around

and tell yourself no matter what

the sky can't fall to ground.
