How I hate cocks

I haven't been sleeping normally for two months now. For some reason, I couldn't get to sleep anytime before 3a.m. Most times I would be awake until after sunrise and watch one of those morning news shows before finally shutting my eyes.

One thing that I have noticed is that I hate cocks (or roosters). Correction, I despise them. Every night between 3 and 4 a.m. they would start crowing and it will continue for the rest of the day. Now that's a bugger for someone who sleeps at around 6a.m.

Just in case you are wondering, these infernal birds are owned by our neighbors and are raised on the vacant lot behind our house. There were many nights that I thought of going out in the middle of the night with a handful of rat poison or something and feeding it to them.

Sigh...
