Rooster Man
Every time
I hear a rooster crow
Ya know, that repetitive
"Cocka Doodle Doo"
I wanna jump out of bed
get my hatchet
and chop off its head.
Well, yesterday morning
the cock began
to crow again.
and again and again.
Then... I heard Elvis singin
'Jailhouse Rock.'
Slowly I walked
with hatchet in hand
"One, two, three
four o'clock rock."
He was behind the Maple tree
and what I saw nearly knocked
my socks off, Rooster Man
that gol durn cock
signin... Jailhouse Rock'
and now, believe it or not
I'm his Biggest
fan.

For those who doubt this story,
I took a picture of Rooster Man.
Actually he's a combo of the original
tree bark and the paint I later
added using Picasa Tools.
Wish I coulda captured the song too.
He sounded exactly like Elvis.
