I am a chicken named Stubby McCoo,
And while I may live in a castle, it's true,
I'm still a chicken, 'though not on a farm,
And castle living may cause me great harm.

I'll tell you a tale that'll cause you to weep.
It begins in the dungeon, so dark and deep
Where I was running through the dank halls
Hiding from Cass's loud, angry calls.

"Oh, bother," she said as she stormed away.
"Oh, bother! That chicken has ruined my day!
I've searched high and low, throughout this whole place.
Oh, bother! Oh, bother," with a frown on her face.

When who should I find while clucking and clacking
But one Hogwarts student whose warm heart was lacking.
Draco was evil: he bullied and fought.
I even heard rumors of chickens he shot!

"I hate you! You're stinky! I hope that you die!"
I cackled from corners too dark to spy.
Draco drew up to his full, scary height,
And, strangely, he sobbed with all of his might:

"Hating people is wrong! It's evil, I say.
Why would you say that as I'm on my way?
What have I done to make you so mad?
You must be evil to make me so sad!"

And I felt remorse in my chicken-y heart.
For of evil things I will take NO part.
That's not what I do, 'though Cass is my queen,
For I feel that evilness is quite obscene.

So I ran up the stairs, my beak in a smirk.
(I would have flown, but my wings don't work.)
I burst into the Hall, my orders squawked out.
And everyone jumped up and ran all about.

In a few short minutes, we could begin.
We were all singing... making a din!
Singing a song of love coming soon
'Though none could remember all of the tune.

We all jumped with shock when who should appear
But Madonna, who as you know, all chickens fear.
"This story is stinky, mine is much better.
Perhaps I shall write dear JK a letter."

The house elves appeared and sat on her fast
And all of my chicken brethren ran past.
Cass, holding her head, came in at a run.
"Oh, bother! I hate this! This story is done!"
