Chanticleer
Let me tell you a tale
Of a feathery kind
About King Chanticleer
A cock that was one of a kind
He was the king of the coop
That was easy to see
In his harem of hens
There was only one 'HE'
He had so many wives
In his harem of chooks
There was Penny & Henny
Dulcy, Lucy & Brook
Yep..He was head honcho
He had so much to do
To keep his wives happy
Plus the farmers wife too!
He'd get up before sunrise
Sit up high on the shed
And sing a loud wake up song
That could awaken the dead
Cock-a-doodle-doo

ReplyDeleteHey King JJ! You are a very rare, monogamous type rooster then aren't you?? Being featherly challenged isn't necessarily a bad thing, I reckon!! Hale King Featherless JJ of Lady Kingdomdon!!
ReplyDeleteOh yeh King JJ... I am the simple queen of my queendom here in Mandomdon .. I have 1 husband and 3 sons!! Well and truly outnumbered am I too!!
ReplyDeleteRene & Helen...yep Chanticleer surely got the long end of the stick compared to his lady companions, I would think!!
ReplyDeleteHa ha - wonderful whimsical post Katherine ! We used to have one similar to this fellow and he was equally 'lucky'.
