Cocka
Doodle Doos
An old rooster, ranting
and rickety
Often toward hens acts persnickety
The cock's merely expressing
That his aging's depressing
Because he ain't what he used to be
His fowl play ruffles
the coop
Which flusters the hen's social group
Their concern - he'll provoke
Their not laying a yolk
And wind up as hot chicken soup
This show-offy rooster's
a cur
The chicks need a way to deter
His cock-of-the-walk sassing
By their hen-pick-ing thrashing
The barnyard is all in a stir
Like roosters, some
men act the same
Their grandstanding can often inflame
But they should be forgiven
When by aging they're driven
To strutting and acting inane
To cause his chicks
dismay
He can his big ego display
Though he might choose-ter
Strut like a rooster
It won't stop his hair turning gray
