TO BE OR NOT TO BE, by                    
First Line: I sometimes think I'd rather crow
Last Line: So mebby roosters stand more show. / it looks that way. But I dunno
Variant Title(s): Crows And Roosters
Subject(s): Roosters; Cocks


I sometimes think I'd rather crow
And be a rooster than to roost
And be a crow.
A rooster he can roost also,
Which don't seem fair when crows can't crow.
Which may help, some. Still I dunno.
Crows should be glad of one thing, though;
Nobody thinks of eating crow,
While roosters they are good enough
For anyone unless they're tough.
There are lots of tough old roosters though,
And anyway a crow can't crow,
So mebby roosters stand more show.
It looks that way. But I dunno.
