Rooster Runs for Office, Promises Sunrise on Demand and Tax-Free Worms
Ma waved signs that read “Cock-A-Doodle Do!”
Pa grumbled, “Ain’t votin’ for no feathered shrew.”
Lou filmed ads with dramatic flair,
While Granny crocheted campaign wear.
Rooster strutted through each dusty town,
Said, “My first act? Tear daylight down!”
He crowed of change and early rights,
Of shorter snoozes and longer nights.
“Worms for all,” he proudly squawked,
“No tax, no dig, just grab and walk!”
Cow debated with solemn grace,
Pig endorsed him–twice, just in case.
Preacher prayed for the rooster’s soul,
Then tithed him corn from the honor roll.
City folks tuned in with awe,
“Finally, a bird who respects the law!”
Now polls show Rooster leads by beak,
His comb, his creed, uniquely sleek.
