Proud Red Rooster

I am a proud red rooster
  from the friendly town of Worcester*
Equipped with a brain the size of a pea
  I'm glad it's my red comb that people see

The highlight of every day
  comes early my way
As dark of night yields to light
  I wind myself up extra tight

then I let loose
  with blood-curdling
Cock-a-doodle hurdlings ~
  And that concludes
    this poem's wordlings

G'day Gershon … and for the cock-a-doodle-doing; roosters are banned in rural towns. I wish the same could be applied to peacocks - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

Love it!:) I agree, often combing the few hairs I have left to cover my lack of brains. My wife loves the Hollywood Oscars -- not for the talent but for the distracting, alluring fashions.

Hey, thanks for the tip there, Joe. I've been doing things backwards -- combing my brains over my hair. No wonder I'm 'not all there!' Smiles, Gershon
