The Rooster


With Apologies to Edgar Allen Poe, Warner Brothers and Mel Blanc I present:
The Rooster
On a wint'ry weekend morning, heeding my alarm clock's warning,
And as my feet reluctantly approached the chilly bedroom floor-
All at once there came a ticking, as if boogers one were flicking,
Wooden boogers gently clicking, clicking at my chamber door.
"Just the cats" I mumbled, "with their claws upon the hardwood door.
Just the cats and nothing more."
