Old Cock Makes Telephone Call
Old cock rang old friend, young hen;
“Come for more termites, sweet-heart
I have big and delicious breeds with me.
Come and we enjoy the thing”, he said
But the young hen was not impressed
“Your termites I ate long ago, my dear
They were even sour, dirty, poor-quality
Now I am grown up, wise and exposed
Termites I do not eat whatsoever
Old Cock, forget me. Do other things.
These days I eat white ants and honey
These are best menu for my young age
Duck gives me white ants so delicious
Turkey ensures I eat honey so exciting
