A Cockerel Mayhem, Or Bad Chicken Farmer Joe

When his father-in-law got him
into the poultry biz in Rhode Island

Joe had not fully contemplated that
first day to market when he 

when he failed to truss and bag the birds 
properly, a holy-moly cock-up so

when he tossed them into his ’02 
Honda Accord LX to parlay

the beasties down 95 South RI,
they managed to wriggle free

Afore the Cockerel Crows

Who is this muse before me stood?
I know her not, I say.
A temperate stirring of the blood,
I bid her go away.
Her seducing, warm, pacific smile,
The shining in her eye;
I watch her handsome form a while
And yet, her I deny.

I took, once more, a further glance
Affirming what I thought.
A glowing, flowing, countenance
Upon mine eyes here brought.

That Cockerel

4.30 cockerel crows,
Turn over back to sleep,
4.50 it crows again,
Cockerel is doing my head in,
It crows yet again,

Cockerel still crowing at half past ten,
Blocking it out as best I can,
Stay sitting in the sun,
Crowing yet again.

Next morning 4am not again,
Cockadoodledoo it goes,
"Belt up" I

rooster wakes the dawn
sound of hens fluttering wings
tender grass springs out

The Cockerel

        Strutting a glowing plumage;
.        The cockerel stood akimbo,
     Lord of the manor, realm in view,
          All the hens rambunctious,
       As unease

The Old Cockerel

The trumpet fails to blast
not for lack of wind;
      but a wear.

An old cockerel crows at dawn,
not to herald the day
but to hint the world:
      I'm alive,

awake; to stir the snorer
      from waste.

It's pretty
sleeping early. Dreaming
before a slumber; a shadow
