GeeBee
the rooster, the king of the ‘run’,
surveying his chickens from his ‘coop’ on
the hill,
not content with the flock that is in his
command,
and envious of roosters who have flocks of their
own.
He
decides that his barnyard is not big enough,
that he should control all those ‘runs’
near and far,
so he sends out his fighting-cocks to take
what’s not his,
now his barnyard seems larger and he thinks he has
won.
Instead
of having peace in the coop and the barnyard,
and enjoying his position as king of the 'run',
he is on the defensive and though he’s not
wanted,
pretends that all chickens are in his
control.
Other
roosters strike back with their own
fighting-cocks,
and now the whole barnyard is on the alert,
and the peace of all chickens is in jeopardy,
because of one rooster who would have his own
way.
