Chanticleer
High and proud on the barnyard fence
Walks rooster in the morning.
He shakes his comb, he shakes his tail
And gives his daily warning.
"Get up, you lazy boys and girls,
It's time you should be dressing!"
I wonder if he keeps a clock,
Or if he's only guessing.

This splendid rooster came racing down the field, at speed, to greet me this morning when I was out for a walk. He was sadly disappointed to discover I didn't have anything for him to eat, but stood proud and posed for a photo nonetheless.
