Time to get up and brew a cup I'm awake at daybreak When Big Jake My clock, the cock Crows January 5th, 2021 Diminished Hexaverse Contest sponsored by Caren Krutsinger *Because of poet's differences of opinion, no slurs should be made about Jake. He's an innocent cockadoodledoer.

Hello Jenna … nicely written indeed about the farmers alarm clock. I guess that’s why keeping roosters is banned in our village - thank you Jenna - Lindsay

One can see and hear them crowing in downtown Honolulu just about everywhere. Like feral cats and dogs, pests adored by PETA! Aloha! Rico

If you ever visit Key West, they actually run wild there. They are everywhere. Great Job Jenna! Love it

I’ve been to the Keys a couple of times. They run free, along with Hemingway’s cats. Thanks, Mark.
