Oh Joy! My Neighbor got a Rooster! (Go Tell Aunt Rhoddie!)
HELLO GENTLE READERS,
I just moved back to rural WV from Charlotte, NC. Actually, you drive to "rural, hang a left, turn right at the big oak tree and there you are (directions courtesy of MapQuest).
We had a really big storm with high winds the other day and I'm not sure if my neighbor bought a rooster or, if it arrived on the wind (I'll get you my pretty and your little dog too).
Now, I'm retired and get up in the morning when I please. At least I used to. Now, I awaken to the strains of a robust "COCK-A-DOODLE-DOOO"! Good Lord! This rooster has a set of lungs to rival Dolly Parton! He'd give a jackhammer a run for the money. This is one stud bird! Must be the size of an Emu!
In my family, a Sunday chicken dinner is a tradition. If I can lay my hands on a "Scud" missle, I'm going after this mutant!
Ya'll come on over Sunday.
Oh, joy! My neighbor got a rooster.
Tom Vickers

When Jon and I met he lived in a cool apt. in a cool part of town, sort of the college section of town.... someone had a pet cock as well and (isn't that another name for a rooster??) and it cracked me up b/c why and how have a bird like that in that part of town and when you know everybody is sleeping?
