cock (a doddle do)

you strut around your barnyard
of pool table and jukebox
like a bantam rooster

cock of the walk
because you have one

feathers ruffled
pecking at your hen



with strident squawk
and sharpened spur

is it because
you know she carries the egg
holds the secret of life between her legs

and you , loud as you crow
are only a cock?
