202 Red-Hot Rooster!

         Norma Wilson


Another little poem for children published for ABC WEDNESDAY. This  week's letter is R.


A photographic 'R' can be seen on my PLUS blog.

RED-HOT ROOSTER!

The Rooster rules the farmyard, 
Perched high upon a rail.
Feathers ruffle, 
Chickens scuffle,
 When the Rooster spreads his tail.
The Rooster rules the farmyard; 
He raises his voice on high. 
But, one fine day,
 That rooster may
 End up in a pie!



The Rooster rules the farmyard.
  He lifts his royal head.
Running rabbits
Know his habits;
See his comb is glowing red!
The Rooster rules the farmyard
 with a 'Cock-a-doodle-doo!'
But, one fine night,
 That rooster might
End up in a stew!

    This is great! Reminds me of a cocky old rooster I saw last summer who was ruling the roost. :D

    I've kept hens, and the rooster was just like that! He caught my daughter collecting eggs and pecked. He made a hole in her foot through her rubber boots - the boots were new, and she never ever forgave him!

    On behalf of the ABC Team, I'd like to thank you for your continued participation each week.

    Now that's just the sort of poem that I remember reading as a child! It tells a story, the meter and rhyme is excellent - and there's a little sting in the tail.

    Love it! :)

    Great poem for the letter R.
    When we were staying with a family in Nicaragua a few years ago we had that rooster for stew. The crazy thing kept us awake night after night. Then one night we heard a loud ruckus and squak. The next day for lunch guess what we had?
