Simon Peterson went for a walk in the sun
across the barnyard of change.
That rooster was pretty cocky this morning.
Chicken dinner was looking good!
His buddy Heyzoos had kept him and his friends
up all night speaking in paradox and paraphrase.
Simon tried to hit the snooze button twice but
the third time that cock crowed he was cheesed.
Even with Heyzoos’ warning the night before
he hadn’t expected Leghorn to foghorn.
When he did Heyzoos pointed right at Simon
in front of all the guys. “I told you so!” He said.
Simon looked Leghorn in the beak accusingly but
that chicken just shrugged and denied it. Three times!
