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

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!
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?
