Chicken
I had this little chicken.
It would follow me wherever I went,
pecking my legs all the time.
It was extremely annoying.
 
I hated my little chicken.
But, it just kept following me.
 
You liked my little chicken.
So, you enjoyed feeding it.
 
But, I decided to love my chicken.
Guess what?
My chicken chose to leave me.
 
You had this ugly chicken.
It would follow you wherever you went,
and you would always kick it away.
That's why it became so ugly.
 
You hated your ugly chicken,
and decided to hide it in your back yard.
 
I hated your ugly chicken.
So, I tried to ignore it.
 
Sadly, you forced me to feed your chicken.
 
Now, your chicken has gotten too big.
It is attacking its owner.
 
You can't escape from your chicken,
because it is your ugly chicken.
 
Until you love your ugly chicken,
it is never going to set you free.
