WHEN TO COUNT CHICKENS: Rhyming Children's Story

by linzy bruno  
5/06/2022 / Short Stories

                                                     

Chickens in a fenced-in yard,

run wild and free,

so when the rooster counts them,

they’re not too far away to see.

 

One day the rooster asked the chickens

to help count in the rain,

but those lazy chickens stayed in their nests;

counting eggs in vain.

 

Then the smartest rooster lectured:

“Don’t count your chickens

while they’re still in their eggs;

wait to hear the crackling and see them standing

upon their scrawny legs.

 

And even for eggs’ sake,

if the farmer comes from his house

for scrambled eggs to make,

how will he be able to eat them

if when he picks them up

they fall and break?

 

Futhermore, I hope you all remember that

this is a steadfast rule

you must treasure this knowledge

and no one will call you a fool!”

 

“Oh…..ALRIGHT!”

All the chickens hollered.

“If we knew about that rule,

do you think we would have bothered?”

 

Then the biggest rooster climbed a ladder;

shouting as he rang a large bell:

“Far better is it to wait and count chickens

AFTER they break free from their shells!”

 

But then something more rose up

amidst all the chicken chatter,

“Maybe eggs can’t be counted,

but that doesn’t mean

that eggs don’t matter!”

 

Then all the chickens and roosters

danced around

for all the farmers in a line

so happy,

about when to count chickens,

any day, rain or shine!
