Sticky dicky, dickity do
do you lick or flick
or turn icky sickly poo

Poor willie found his
demise at the edge
of dusk, grabbed
by a coon, eaten
and found at noon

Sort:  

R.i.p. sir, you were a cock among pussies.

lol.... you know he was the cock-about. Poor thing.

OMG, I found that so funny.

hahahaha.

this is like Dr. Suess and Edgar Allen Poe wrote a eulogy nursery rhyme. I enjoy the musicality of the internal rhyme, a tongue twisting tragic tale.

hehe, thank you. You know I get all crazy with the word play -- I like finding my own tongue, like chanting or channeling but not.

Aww, too bad about Willie. We had a chicken as a pet for a few weeks. It's name was Dude. It was still a baby, so we weren't sure if it was male or female. It was fun freaking people out by telling them that I had a chick named Dude living in my house.

haha, love that as a name.

Yeah, my four year old boy came up with it. LOL.

Poor old Wllie.

This happened a couple months back -- he was a great rooster. <#

Awww, a chicken getting along with cats and getting eaten. That's too bad :(

Mr. Willie has quite a Lazarus story actually, but that is for another day. He is missed.

So, I think originalworks only works if the post is over 200 words. I figured that out recently.

Thank you, Moe. I was wondering what was up with it being finicky. lol

What would I do without you? :)
