THE GAME COCK
THE GAME COCK
The Game Cock

A perch is where I sit
Watching birds flying by,
Always a winning bet
I roost while sitting high.

I'm not your average hatch
I am proven dead game,
I have no equal match
Nor, have I got a name.

I flap my fancy wings
And stay out in the rain,
I feel the wind sting
Yet, I feel no pain.

Sometimes fought by night
Damp from dew by dawn,
Still rest after fight
Up, in the early morn.

Wishing crow of a cock
And a large cocking main,
A current working clock,
The cock on a weather vane.
