Naming The Rooster

The new Cockle Doodle Doo Morning Show that I have been listening to is about to name their star rooster. The co-host toyed with the name Ethel, but of course his colleague can’t agree. Who can? Surely you can be calling a rooster by such a feminine name. This reminds me of Johnny Cash’s “A Boy Named Sue.” I have my own recommendation for this radio station and I have incorporated them here.

 

 

Naming The Rooster

No doubt

A name like Ethel is out

Masculinity is the essence behind a rooster’s crow

I can’t have you calling him Ethel after some women I know

Names say a lot of who we are

Got a name like Sue as a boy and life’s a constant spar

The boys named Alyson, Gene and Shirley

Have trouble confirming their gender to everybody

Ethel for a rooster will be bad too

Risk this and expect a different sounding “Cockle doodle doo!”

Old cocks feel that when they stand erect

Open their chest and let out a crow, we’ll get

Sounds of royalty that we’ll take seriously

Their “Cockle Doodle doo!” bellows with pure masculinity

Ethel can’t do but maybe a name like Brewster

Rooster if you like can be called, Schuster the Rooster!.
