Cock-A-Doodle-Do

Cock-a-doodle-do Cock-a-doodle-do crowed the rooster this morning While I lay all snug in my bed A screeching like sound just as loud as a freight train Was pounding away in my head I pulled up the covers and hid neath a pillow But still came that noise that I heard I jumped up from bed and opened the window And shouted, “Shut up, stupid bird” But it didn’t listen, it just kept on crowing My anger did steady increase I stood in my room, the whole time just thinking Of ways to make this rooster cease I hopped in the shower, but I still could hear it And while I was brushing my teeth I had an idea that would stop the crowing Bringing some morning relief Later that night as we sat at the table My children looked at me and cried “Daddy, we can’t seem to find Mr. Rooster, we looked everywhere, oh we tried” I felt really bad but my sleep is important “We’ll look for him after we eat Now let’s have our dinner, it’s something delicious, fried chicken just cannot be beat” Good morning Soupers

Hi Chris, This poem brought back childhood memories. Growing up my dad had a "chicken shack" or a modern day barn for chickens. Sometimes I wanted strangle that rooster's neck. But in the end I just got used it. Great humorous write to start the day:-) Alexis

Cool and funny as all outdoors, Chris. It put a big smile on my face and a few chuckles in my heart. Good chicken soup for the soul ... although I'm sure the rooster don't think so. LOL! A 7 for hitting the funny bone just right. Much love from me to you.

How do you make the Rooster stop crowing Sunday morning? Make rooster stew Saturday night.

Oh...poor rooster...You ate him... :( I would love to live somewhere in the middle of nowhere where the rooster wakes me up every morn. :)..Loved this sweet poem Chris. PS-This poem reminds me of that day my brother won a little chick from a magician ..at a kids party..He was so small and sweet..Then grew big ..and noisy.One day we woke up to find it gone..I wonder now..if we ever ate it without knowing..it was that once a chick-a-dee :).
