Once upon a time in a quirky little coop, lived Clucky the Chicken with her five fluffy chicks.
One sunny morning, Clucky clucked, 'Oh deary me! Where could my cheeky chicks be?'
Clucky searched high and low, in the barn and in the hay, but her five fluffy chicks had wandered away.
Cluck, cluck, cluck! She heard a tiny 'peep' from behind a big wooden bucket. Out popped Peep, with feathers oh so sleek!
Clucky clapped her wings and smiled so bright, 'One down, four to go! Now we’re on the right flight!'
In the meadow, near the creek, Clucky found a cheery chick named Cheep. 'Cheep! Cheep!' she chirped with delight, 'Mama, what a wonderful sight!'
But where was Chirp, Chat, and Chitter? Clucky's heart went all-a-flitter.
Under the old apple tree, amongst the roots so twisty, Clucky found Chirp nibbling on an apple so zesty.
Next by the pond, near the lily pads green, Chat was there, unseen. 'Quack?' went the ducks, and Clucky laughed, 'Chat, we’re not on the scene!'
Finally, in the barn loft, on a mound of hay, Chitter sat munching, happy to stay. 'Chitter, my dear, time to come play!'
With a cluck and a cheer, the family was complete. Clucky’s heart skipped a beat!
The sun set on the quirky little coop, and Clucky told her chicks, 'Stay close, little troop,' 'Now rest and dream, my chicks so sweet, tomorrow’s adventure shall be a treat!'
