DMC: "Cock-a-doodle aahroo" by M. H. Barnes




Next to come round
was a rock-n-roll hound
descended from Elvis the King.
This hound dog’s to-do:
Cock-a-doodle aaahrrrooooooooooo!
The blues was all he could sing.

      So glad you enjoyed it, Rosi! It was fun to write too-- I think I should channel Elvis more often.
