ROOSTER RETIREMENT by Granny Annie

Boss Hog was most intolerable. He was a beautiful rooster but definitely oversexed. Their lovely flock of hens were terrified when this big fellow came near them with romantic intentions. Thankfully the rooster's vision was blurry enough to slow his approach to the ladies. Plus he chased and terrified the Brown's grandchildren. The farmer could not help but deprecate about this brazen fowl in his barnyard. However Farmer Brown managed to remain glacial to keep his wife happy. But, she loved this rooster and was very dogmatic in her opinion of the fellow she had raised as a chick. Her husband's opinion did not mean a fig to her. She strolled the yard leading Boss Hog everywhere.

Farmer Brown approached his wife one day with an idea. “My dear, have you ever heard of the Rooster Barn in Ottawa? It is a fun retirement home for old roosters. The total plan is a bit nebulous now but we can think on it.” Farmer Brown looked hopefully at his wife believing she might consider the idea and he chomped hard on his gum. He watched as Boss Hog pecked at the fodder on the ground.

Mrs. Brown patted her big rooster on his comb and smiled with pity at her husband, responding “It ain't never gonna happen.”
