The Rooster

I am up in the morning sunrise, Perch aloft a fence post, Protecting the hen coop. All around the peaceful farm, The animals and humans are sleeping While I'm on graveyard shift Watching out for the shrewd fox. Cock-a-doodle-doo! Sound of fluttering wings Of flying, cackling, nesting hens In the coop. Cock-a-doodle-doo! Humans, it's time to get up Dress in your overalls, Punch your time card; A day of callus work From dawn until dusk. 7/8/2019 Poetry Contest: Pick A Title, Vol 6 - Personification - 2.) The Rooster Sponsored by: Edward Ibeh

Omg it's waaaay too early in the morning for your rooster shenanigans, Eve. I don't know that I've ever heard a rooster cook a doodle doo, but I've dealt with any number of hens, so i can relate to your farmer. Excellent write! Good luck in the contest.
