              Oy, the taste seeker, 
                there went a very well-fattened chicken  
                over there.  
                She opened the wings wide up 
                takes so broad path 
                on the street. 
                Allow me 
                to net and catch her 
                once, please. 
                It's really a well shaped girl,  
                isn't she? 
                I would dream once 
                to raise a hen like her 
                and let her chirping for joy.
