Gertrude Stein

CHICKEN. 

Pheasant and chicken, chicken is a peculiar third. 

CHICKEN. 

Alas a dirty word, alas a dirty third alas a dirty third, alas a dirty bird. 

CHICKEN. 

Alas a doubt in case of more go to say what it is cress. What is it. Mean. Why. Potato. Loaves. 

CHICKEN. 

Stick stick call then, stick stick sticking, sticking with a chicken. Sticking in a extra succession, sticking in.
