Confident Cocky Treepie
The treepie was confident and cocky, walking my fence
Tottering and tittering to himself, in a bravado-like manner
He was a handsome bird, his colors painted in compartments
Yellows, blacks, whites; he looked distinguished like a penguin
They both wear a tuxedo-like feather pattern

The Cocky Boss
I work for a cocky boss
With whom I can never converse
He always has to have the last word
Everything you say to him appears absurd
He speaks like a judge in a courtroom
Your every word dissected and doomed
He walks aright and with a swagger
In his pocket a hidden dagger
Waiting to dissect the unsuspecting specimen
With cynicism he awaits

Jen Psaki's Too Cocky
'There will be consequences'
'Russia will pay a severe price'
Please pardon Mr. Putin for failing to tremble
He's focusing on his next roll of the dice
'Our sanctions will punish their economy'
'Russia's financial sector will be crippled'
Abject weakness barely causes a ripple
Putin's not as

He Was Confident and Cocky
Her husband was a working encyclopedia.
He could spout off impressive facts
About countries, continents, rain forests.
She had never met such a wise man.
She felt lucky that he married her.
She decided to surprise him one night.
She brought him to a party.
Had not told him about playing the Trivial Pursuit game.
He was confident and cocky.
Stated over and over

Cocky's Happy Ending
So what did happen to old Cocky,
Swearing away, profanity?
We gave him a new abode,
A cage in a nursing home,
Old Cocky struck it lucky,
Full of parrots, like he,
Cocky believed in sharing,
Oldies heard unique caring,
Cocky and Co. would greet each day,
In his inimitable way,
"You fat f....ing c...s, get out of bed!"
Not sure this is what geriatrics meant,
Cocky

Cocky Engineer
A cocky engineer on his way home
Spotting his boss standing alone
Perplexed and confused
Totally bemused
His groans soon turned to moans
I'm trying to make this thing work
But I'm starting to feel like a berk
I need this copied tonight
Or my deals out of sight
What I need is a smart office clerk
Hey boss, this is what you should do
Let

A Cocky
A cracker and a cocky,
They are playing hockey,
A cracker is no longer,
A cocky licking a finger.
A cocky bought a hen,
But hen has no brain,
A cocky is searching egg,
Without cock a hen is fig.
A cocky loaded a pony,
But he was little funny,
He eats much and walks slow,
Always weeps when seeing a crow.
A cocky bought a pig,
That
