Cheeky Joe
I have a little bantam cock, I call him Cheeky Joe, For when I take him in myaart, He thinks he has to crow, I'm very fond of Checkjj Joe, And when its rainy Weather, I bring him right into the house; We have such fun together. And then, when I pretend to crow, He'll stretch his neck and say Cock-a-doodle-doodle-doo, In such a funny Way. Sometimes We have a little spar, And I pretend to fight. Then he Will skip and jump about And crow with all his might. I wish that you could see my Joe; If you come round to tea, I'll show you how my pel can crow, And how he plays with me. —Sketch and Poem, Original, by Fay Price (12).
