SAID the first little chicken,
With a queer little squirm,
"I wish I could find
A fat little worm."Said the next little chicken, With an odd little shrug, "I wish I could find A fat little bug."
Said the third little chicken With a sharp little squeal, "I wish I could find Some nice yellow meal."
Said the fourth little chicken, With a small sigh of grief "I wish I could find A green little leaf."
Said the fifth little chicken, With a faint little moan, "I wish I could find A wee gravel stone."
"Now, see here," said the mother, From the green garden patch, " If you want any breakfast, Just come here and scratch." ~author unknown~

"There is work that is isolating, harsh, destructive, specialized or trivialized into meaninglessness. And there is work that is restorative, convivial, dignified and dignifying, and pleasing."
