My hen became a rooster over night

She’s missing the cock to her doodle do

About her transition I had no clue

*

She crows now, no eggs now, but she’s alright

The other hens unmoved by this breakthrough

My hen became a rooster overnight

She’s missing the cock for her doodle do

*

Her morning crows are welcomed with delight

I simply love this chicken through and through

To her own self she has remained true

My hen became a rooster over night

She’s missing the cock for her doodle do

About her transition I had no clue
