00500	We'd sleep longer and sweeter at dawn
00600	If the rooster could wait for his song.
00700	But a rooster can never keep still,
00800	There's a role he was made to fulfill.
00900	
01000	Though he crows till he fogs up his eyes,
01100	He can't get anyone there outside.
01200	For we don't keep such fools now in stock
01300	That run out at the crow of a cock.
