TO BE OR NOT TO BE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: I SOMETIMES THINK I'D RATHER CROW
Last Line: SO MEBBY ROOSTERS STAND MORE SHOW. / IT LOOKS THAT WAY. BUT I DUNNO
Subject(s): ROOSTERS; COCKS;
I sometimes think I'd rather crow
And be a rooster than to roost
And be a crow.
A rooster he can roost also,
Which don't seem fair when crows can't crow.
Which may help, some. Still I dunno.
Crows should be glad of one thing, though;
Nobody thinks of eating crow,
While roosters they are good enough
For anyone unless they're tough.
There are lots of tough old roosters though,
And anyway a crow can't crow,
So mebby roosters stand more show.
It looks that way. But I dunno.
