By Kate Gladstone dedicated to

(tune: CHICKEN FAT THE YOUTH FITNESS SONG
by Meredith Wilson and Robert Preston)
Downstrokes
Every morning,
Ten times!
Warm up
Your hand and pen.
Give that chicken scratch
Back to the chicken,
And don't be chicken again.
No, don't be chicken again.
Don't write
Like a chicken
This time.
Watch how
Your letters go.
Writing's on the rise.
Nuts to the scribbly tries!
Go, you chicken scratch, go away!
Go, you chicken scratch, go!
Left! Left! Left! Left!
Left behind handwriting's slaughter.
It was right, right that it should be left
Yes, I left! Left! Left! Left!
Left behind handwriting's slaughter.
It was right (left), right (left) that it should be left!
Now, letter families. Ready!
Let's write i, j, l,
Every morning (write)
Pen time!
k, v,
w, x, z!
h! Give that (m!) chicken scratch
(n!) Back to the (r!) chicken and
(u!) Don't be (y!) chicken (a!) again
(d!) No, (q!) don't be (breathe) chicken again. (Eight more!)
Hit that line! Hit!
b, p
Light, not hefty.
o, e, c, s
f, t!
In your journal,
Night or morning,
Ten lines!
Speed up after
Starting slow.
(Wow! That's one.) WRITE NOW on the rise
(Two!) Nuts to the (cluck!) scribbly tries.
(Three!) Go, you (BAWWWWWK!) chicken scratch (Everybody sing!), go away.
Go, you chicken scratch, go!

I have the older edition of "Write Now" in book format. That book (excersizes inside) did help me improve my handwriting! I do not remember seeing this in the book though!

No, it wasn't in the book and couldn't be, because the book is Barbara's and Inga's but the song ismine (written just yesterday). I've sent it to them, and hope they'll like it.
