A Rooster, a Song and Laughing Out Loud
As some of you may know, I am at Phrog and Munkey Folk Ranch by myself for most of the week while Munkey is back in the metro mess financing our dream.
Last night I decided to enjoy some time on the back porch watching the hummingbirds fly around. There I was watching the sunset, listening to the hummingbirds and enjoying some peach and tranquility. Then a rooster crow broke the silence. What was a rooster doing crowing at sunset? What would make a rooster crow at sunset? Crazy Rooster...My thoughts led me down a strange and twisting chain until I arrived at a song that I once learned at some camp I went to as a child.
Picture it:
Me sitting on the back porch
Hummingbirds humming
Me singing out loud
Hummingbirds coming closer to check me out
Me laughing out loud at the silliness of the song
Hummingbirds leaving to return to their nests.
You challenge today is to come up with another verse to this silly song. Oh, and next time you are in Hext, Texas come sit with me on the back porch, the rooster will give you directions to our yard...
The Rooster
We had this hen
No eggs would she lay.
We had this hen
No eggs would she lay.
My wife said, "Honey, we're losing money
Cause we got this hen
No eggs will she lay".
And then that rooster
Got into our yard
And took that hen
Right off of her guard.
She's laying eggs now
Like she never used to
Ever since that Rooster
Got into our yard.
We had this cow
No milk would she give.
We had this cow
No mild would she give.
My wife said, "Honey, we're losing money
Cause we got this cow
No milk will she give."
And then that Rooster
Got into our yard
And caught our milk cow
Right off of her guard.
She's giving eggnog
Like she never used to
Ever since that Rooster
Got into our yard.
We had a dog
No pup would she give...
Until that rooster go into our yard.
She's having bird dogs
Like she never used to.
