Attempt to be like DA man--Shel Silverstein

How do you say "I don't like chicken" in French?

How do you say "I don't like chicken" in French?
Oh, I can't stand its awfully wretched stench
And it does not quench my thirst to my lament
Nor does it silence my hunger as its intent
Rather it dries the throat when it needs drenched
My belly does not fill like a hole with cement
So each time it's near I clench my jaw to prevent
Eating that chicken with the awfully wretched stench


I ran home one day with a mighty big smile

I ran home one day with a mighty big smile
After running a couple of miles and miles
My smile embraced each place on my face
My teeth replaced each star in outer space
For the graceful steps I ran on the sidewalk
Unlocked some thoughts from our times en bloc
When we'd run and dance and play and sing
I hoped one day that you'd give me a ring
And then you did! You gave me a shiny thing
That thing was a ring that made me sing
Then I looked at you and you looked at me
But I said what you didn't think could be
You see, we weren't meant to be, I started
I needed to follow my heart before it departed
And then one day it might follow me to you
One day we could be stuck like super glue
Then years and years later I went on a long run
I was wrong in thinking that it would be fun
But then from across the pier you appeared
What if he is angry and hurt? I cried and feared
But you were not; you approached with a smile
Then I ran home a couple of miles and miles
