Red's Ode to the Ladies
I’m rooster the Red, love has gone to my head. I see ladies wherever I turn.
I love them all, the short and the tall. If she’s feathered, I never will spurn.
Guinea, chicken, and duck, oh I am in luck, for all have a fluffy, plump tail.
In the yard or the coop, use a ladder or stoop, I’m determined that I will not fail.
For the mission I’m on, beginning at dawn, is to love every lady I find.
I will strut, dance and woo, and after I do, I will love her, no matter her kind.
It’s a matter of pride, and I cannot abide the thought that I ever could fail.
My job I must do. It’s enjoyable too, and all part of being a male.
A new girl on the farm? I must share my charm. She’ll be lonely, in need of a friend.
What’s that I see? An enormous turkey…. It’s happened. This may be the end.
She’s as big as a house! And she has a spouse. A great tom who is 10 times my size.
So I think on this day, though it pains me to say, on my mission, I must compromise.
Plenty of fish in the sea. I still love being me. Hear my voice as it soars to the sky!
My charms I will share, just not over there. That big tom’s giving me the stink eye.
