I'Ve Got An Embarassing Secret

I have to spill my guts
It has been on my mind
It is making me quite nuts

My rooster has a problem
It is so hard to say
Just please don't laugh at him

He's OCD!!
He paces back and forth
Counting every step to a tee.

Three up 
Three back
Three up
Three back!

There is no help to be
The worse you see
He has plucked

And plucked yes he
Is naked as can be!!

Congratulations on your poem, Doris. Poor rooster. I hate it when that happens. Smiles! Your question about " Alouette" I remember a little about how to play. The it person sings the lyrics, while the group dance around the rose in a ring. In a sudden gesture the it person yells all fall down, and the one left standing is then the it person. It person has the option of command admist his song anywhere to say,"all fall down." Neat song and accompanying dance. Lots of exercise. Agape, Moses
