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
With their hen-peck-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 girl chicks dismay
He struts his big ego display
But, though he might choose-ta
Strut like a rooster
It won't stop his hair turning gray
