Dear Anon. and Anon.

The Rooster song is in the DT. CLICK HERE for the song.

There was also a thread recently on additional verses (can't remember if the poultrygeist was in it). To wallow in the depths of bad puns, CLICK HERE.

My compliments to the wags. (And the other branches of the army, as well). I am about to be inspired.

One night the rooster had no one to love....
    He's havin' hearteggs, just like he uster'

One fine day, the rooster turned compulsive....
    He's into eggsess, just like he uster'

Our rooster fought in the Trojan War....
    His name's eggchiles, just like it uster'

That reminds me, there used to be a company called Egghead Software and their advertising was full of egg-oriented puns.

Eggzactly what you need! Don't eggcept substitutes! And so on.

If you could get hold of some of their old brochures and catalogs, they would provide you with inspiration for hundreds more verses.
