Mr. Chanticleer
What a handsome dude you are
You strut your stuff for all the hens
You flap your wings, puff out your chest
and crow “How cool, how cool am I”
You flaunt your spurs, you don't retreat
from any foe, you're always king
You even try to wake the sun
with all your cock-a-doodle-dooing
You jar me from my sleep instead
Be careful, you may lose your head
You think you rule the roost
but remember
You're just a chicken.
Or maybe...
"I will awaken the dawn...
I praise the One who gave me breath
Come and worship Him
I will awaken the dawn."

Enjoyed reading. Great photos!
As I started reading and going through this poem I wondered if there would be an ironic or paradoxical kind of meaning in the end. And sure enough! The photos are excellent!
