Helpful Rooster

There once was a farmer named Joe. Who knew how to handle a hoe. A nice feathered cock, Who knew how to rock, Did help him his nice seed to sow. This young farmer who's first name was Joe Could hoe quite a bit in a row. He had a great shock. While feeding his cock. The chickens his seed helped to sow! *For Armano Aurocano Rock Star contest.

I am only 17. But I can see the humor in this . I do like the way you use inoccent words in your Limerick. I almost thought dirty over some of the lines . Sorry I just viewed the poem in an unpropper way. Do not get mad.

Ah, those chickens were eating the seed, Marty. Better tell Joe to shoe them away lest his crops suffer. Great rooster limerick! I think this will do very well in Dane Ann's contest. Good luck! Love, Carolyn
