Just a little short of cluck

Sometimes we all just need a little reminder that it's ok to be who we are. Even if you're ugly or you're skanky or you're small, it's ok! If you believe in yourself, you can be whoever you want to be. Right? Well, maybe it's not that easy, but next time you start feeling down about yourself, remember Chuck, the courageous chicken who learned to accept himself, even if he was just a little short of cluck.

Chuck the Courageous Chicken

Chuck was always a little odd
He had a really puny bod

He had been a runt, you see
The other chickens had to be

Really mean to poor old Chuck
Who was just a little short of cluck

They went for a walk to see the barn
They tried to follow a trail of yarn

They saw some paint and it was green
And the other chickens, who were really mean

Dared poor Chuck to jump right in
And so he did, with a big ol' grin

He landed in with a mighty plop
And splashed the paint to the very last drop

He saw himself while walking back
And decided the other chickens were really wack

So Chuck accepted himself the way he was
Even through he had green fuzz


Soo, I guess the morale of the story is, if you're feeling like a loser and the other kids are making fun of you, just find a bucket of paint to jump in, and then you'll probably decide to accept yourself for who you are. Wish someone had told me that in 7th grade!

  1. Thank you Julia! This one is especially poignant to me as I am feeling altogether cluckless. I wonder if dying my hair green would have the same effect?
