He Is the Prettiest Rooster

He is the prettiest rooster I have ever seen.
Handsome too, she said. She was the chicken hawk queen.
We had heard rumors about them both, some of them mean.
She was an ugly hen, kind of pathetically drably and green.

He is the talk of the barnyard, she told us. For sure!
If she was in love, he was possibly her sights-set-on-cure.
We watched him crowing, he was standing so near.
I think she would like him to call her “my dear”.

LOL Caren. The roosters do strut so proudly and arrogantly. The chicken hawk has sharp eyes for such preening. :) Linda

Wouldn't a "chicken hawk queen" eat the rooster for lunch? Aloha!
