My next door neighbor has a rooster He crows... and brings us morning. It is just a matter of time until some grouch calls city hall and he will be gone. I guess morning will still come... but it won't be the same. Ida Werrett [This message has been edited by Marchmadness (04-08-2010 12:44 AM).] |

Ah, my friend...I grew up with roosters crowing and as much as I miss the sound they can be like dogs barking in city neighborhoods. But, I agree, a piece of one is forever lost when the rooster's crow is no longer heard. And I feel sad for those who have heard one only in recordings of one kind or another. Just not the same. I'll miss your rooster too. j. |

Well, the rooster is still here, just lucky that I'm the neighbor next door I guess. Ida |

Ask the rooster to call the city hall and have any grouches removed. Sending you my ears so I can hear the rooster's call. I would love to be woken up by his call, no matter what time and how often. Love to you, Ida, and the rooster Owl |

Well, yanno Ida. It could be worse. The rooster could have a bell around his neck - lol. |

Actually, I like the rooster and I don't mind the noise at all, as the poem clearly states. Ida |

He crows... and brings us morning. It's so much nicer to have your day delivered. |

Love this, dear Ida! Reminds me of when I was a teenager and fooled the roosters crowing as the first one out of my window ... they all replied and I had such fun! May this rooster continue to bring the day! Love, Margherita  |
