Rodney Rooster

The Little Red Hen was feeling blue
As her nightmares all were coming true.
Rodney Rooster, her favorite child,
Was out all night and running wild.

Since he had been her only boy
Sweet Rodney was her pride and joy.
She dreamed as he grew strong and tall
That he'd soon give the morning call.

"My son, you just don't listen well!
Perhaps I cracked your little shell."
She told her son, her eyes turned wispy,
"I fear you'll end up extra crispy.

"If birds of a feather flock together
You sure are flirting with fowl weather.
Those owls and bats and night time birds
Will drag you down, just mark my words.
