You funny!

I used to think cock-a-doodle-doo sounded silly and was pleasing to the ear…

I’ve never seen a chicken with breasts.

(Pause)

Because we’re eating all the breasts!

And that’s why the rooster “cock-a-doodle-doos”. He’s angry!

The rooster wakes up, plants his feet on the ground, and with his feathers bouncing behind him, he walks to the barn for a little morning hanky panky with his chicks.

He goes to one chicken, starts in, then pauses, searches the chest wildly, then goes to the next chicken, pecking all over, then to the next, faster and more frantically all down the line. NOTHING! No breasts!… Again! 

The rooster stomps outside, slams the barn door, and screams, “NO!!!”

Meanwhile, the farmer inside begins to stir. What he hears is his wake-up call: “Cock-a-doodle-doo!!!”

All is well. The farmer is up, and his farm is waking up. The coffee is brewing, and the farmer’s chicken breasts and eggs are waiting for him in the kitchen.  It’s going to be a good day.  A great day!

Cock a doodle doo…

It’s a wake-up call alright. The rooster, and every rooster – on every farm in the world, is fed up. Wake up farmer, wake up! This is the last straw.
