Gamecock (Ol' Man Jess)
Gamecock (Ol' Man Jess)
~ Lessons from the Gullah Isles ~
The ol' cock is up and crowing at the sun
His wattle sways in anticipation as his head bobs about to survey the day
He can see his likeness in the fresh done sheets as he crosses the yard
Hoping he's not stirred the chicks
Chaos of his making when they're underfoot
The dew is moist as he seeks solace in the warmth of the henhouse on this crisp mornin'
He pecks at the door
Head bobbing about
And he's in
Mornin' honey
Presented in the euphemism and double entendre challenge hosted by marthard

Thanks Rain ... This was a fun reflective piece thinking about the roosters who'd strut and preen around my grandmother's place in South Carolina, home of the Gamecock. xoxo

Ah, I see things are stirred up around your henhouse in the mornings! LOL!!! Nice euphemism and double entendre and good luck!

In as much as anything this was inspired by those lovely mornings and evenings on my grandmother's place on the coastal islands ... I literally learned the birds n the bees from birds n the bees ...
