Good morning rooster How do you do? It’s the crack of dawn You cock-a-doodle-do You sit on your perch pride fully and woo Standing mighty and bold you call your brood for food Sleek and graceful you do the cockerel waltz Strutting vaudeville statuesque Crowing to proclaim your territory You stand protecting your roost ***** and brave Watching for predators coming your way The alpha male Your earlobes and crown are blood red like a bird of paradise Your steel beak as strong as a saw Your feather mane chestnut drapes over your back Your breast fuchsia and emerald quill Your silken tail an extended fan You run free reign on my ranch A thousand chickens roost in my barn You rearrange my garden while pecking for nourishment Eating up all the insects and brown recluses in my yard In dust you and your flock bathe You even watch over the hens eggs Your calls distinct and powerful When you are still and content sweet singing rings You are friendly to humans And can even be domesticated Stay here Roo We will protect you
