Magpie Tales#39

Marital disharmony in the Trellis household continues, thanks to Willow's latest prompt.














Caddoc-a-Doodle-Do

Now what's he up to, Caddoc in his shed?
Sounds like his saxophone has sprung a leak?
Or . .  that vile rooster he brought home last week
is making merry with its jabbing beak
to peck a few more pockmarks in his head.

Some men would pluck their Little Chick in there -
not Caddoc! The imagination baulks
at the thought!  Those impassioned rooster squawks
speak not of rapture.  He takes it out for walks . . .
. . . whatever keeps him out of Ada's hair.

(Pssst . . . reading this might help. Regards, Ada T.)

  2. I can see them both now down at the Old Cock and Bull ... enjoying a pint (between them mind)

  3. And a right cock and bull story that one is. I'm beginning to believe that Ada is writing fiction! But good fun rhyming fiction, which is fine by me.
