A poem in rhyming couplets ( I think )
The chicken farmer almost cried
when his last good rooster died
Without a cock to breed his hens
he'd go broke and lose his friends
So he called ROOSTERS- R- US
but their reply just made him cuss
They had just sold their last one
to his cousin's nephew's son
What the heck was he to do
without a bird to see him through ?
After much worry and thought
he said, "The farmers' jockey lot !".....................(an outdoor flea market)
They sell about everything there
from produce to stuffed Teddy bear
So he jumped into his pick-up truck
and headed there trusting to luck
He searched both inside and out
then saw a sight that made him shout
A man sitting on a tail gate
had a white rooster in a crate !
When looking closely in the cage
he beheld a cock of advanced age
The bird's head hadn't any hair
and his beak had no teeth there
He told the seller, "I won't nag ya
this bird's so old he'll need Viagra !"
The seller said, "Don't worry,see."
"This old rooster has a guarantee."
"Here's my phone number and my name
in case this cock's pecker turns lame."
"Just call me up and I'll come there
refund your money too, I swear."
Well, the farmer didn't have much choice
in being swayed by siren's voice
He sat the bird on passenger seat
and beat a hasty type retreat
On the trip back to the chicken farm
he told the rooster, "I mean no harm."
"But you are getting pretty old
so pace yourself, don't be too bold."
"To take your time would be no sin."
the rooster just sat with a sly grin
Back at home in time for lunch
stepping on gravel with a crunch
He bade rooster to make self at home
(We're midway in this lengthy tome)
Running loose were all types of fowl
guineas,turkeys,geese, ducks and owl
The farmer went inside to dine
thinking all would be just fine
When he came back out the door
his jaw almost hit the floor
As he looked around his yard
all female fowl looked ridden hard
All hen birds were satisfied
and the old white rooster he soon spied
Standing looking smug and proud
"You old fool !"the farmer shouted loud
I'll put you in the hen house now
before you try to breed the cow
Don't be foolish but instead
cease copulating 'fore you end up dead
The rooster grinned as he was tossed
on him moderation seemed lost
The farmer slammed the hen coop door
went to a field to work some more
Mid afternoon he paused to think
I could really use a nice cold drink
And check on how that rooster's doing
hopefully he's slowed his screwing
So he rode his tractor to the house
where all was quiet as a mouse
He noticed all the hens were quiet
none of their common clucking riot
He opened coop's door to take a peek
200 hens worn out with smile on beak
A new hole knocked into the wall
of rooster, not a trace at all
"Well," he thought, "you silly beast
you could have listened some at least."
"But now you have crawled off and died
I'll go and get my tea inside."
He mounted his tractor from the right
then saw a far off speck of white
Not moving even the least bit
the farmer thought,"Well that's the sh^t !"
So he drove the tractor over there
the rooster lay with feet in air
"You should have listened but instead
you over did it now you're dead !"
But wait ! The bird opened one eye
said, "Shush !" and pointed to the sky
Gestured to birds circling above
" I'm about to sample buzzard love !"

Where this one was headed. It's from an old joke. But I've never heard it in poetry form. You did a great job on it. Keep me laughing. Do you know the one about the Ram and the record player? That would make a good one. Take Care. huey
