The Rooster Leads the Hens
The Rooster Leads the Hens
By Elton Camp
Way back in history, to time untold
It’s males who have always controlled
To take the lead, most hens don’t care
Rooster leads them from here to there
Talk of gender equality is just fluff
For the hens never believe such stuff
When the going is dangerous or rough
The males alone are sufficiently tough
The hens deal with hatching white & brown
You won’t see the lordly rooster sitting down
The hens scratch a living from the ground
Move for him to eat when he come around
Human males his tricks should come to know
They too could learn how to strut and crow
Maybe find that not to be a hen-pecked fool
He must show from the start he means to rule
