He couldn't understand what all the fuss was about.
What's the problem?
Those teenagers next door made lots of noise and he didn't complain.
And that baby next door by one, good grief, what a racket!
Just because it was 3am.
Maybe it would be better if I lived in the country.
"Cock-a-doodle-doo" he crowed.
Friday 55 Flash Fiction is brought to you by G-man (Mr Knowitall). The idea is you write a story in exactly 55 words. If you want to take part pop over and let G-man know when you've posted your 55.
Heehee, that's very good. I used to love the sound of a cock crowing.
ReplyDeleteI love to hea chickens - and roosters - but not sure how it would be if i lived next door!
ReplyDeleteha. used to have a rooster that snuck into our yard...it was only on saturdays...as if he knew i could sleep in that day...
ReplyDeleteJust Think Of The Potential Eggs!
ReplyDeleteThis could be our cat Jack saying this ... he's my alarm clock .. he begins crying MOOOOORE at about 5 a.m.
ReplyDeleteawww, bless his little chicken heart! ha ha ha

Ake...
ReplyDeleteRole reversal!
Loved your 55 My Friend.
I'll refrain from my usual wordplay gutter humor...hehehe
Thanks for playing, and have a Kick Ass Week-End
Gosh, I have a hard enough time listening to my alarm clock going off in the morning!
ReplyDeleteAnother FAB 55 Flash!
"Cock-a-doodle-doo!!!!!!"
Brilliant!
Have a super weekend, m'dear!

Oh, city people just don't understand ;-)
ReplyDeleteNice one.
I'd rather have the rooster than the teenagers!
ReplyDeleteGood one, Ake!
I remember roosters crowing in the morning when I was growing up. For me it was always a comforting sound although I did not grow up on a farm. Now, these crazy suburbanites would freak if a rooster was close enough to be heard.
ReplyDeletelove roosters better...
ReplyDeletefun play on roles.
your 55 gives me a good chuckle.
Keep it up.
Great lead-up, laugh out loud/clever finish.
ReplyDeleteDo they mysteriously somehow know what time it is? Or just go off anytime anyhow..?
ReplyDeleteWell I loved that twist!
ReplyDeleteOh good for him! Let him crow!
ReplyDeleteNice 55.
Ha ha! I'm sure that's exactly how he sees it!
ReplyDeleteThe world at large is too noisy no matter where you go these days, there's always something mechanical buzzing or clattering around :-).
ReplyDeleteI quite like the sound too but not at 3 am Valerie LOL
ReplyDeleteYes, next door is a bit too close for comfort Flowerpot ;)
That rooster did it on purpose Brian LOL
My eldest son keeps chickens and the eggs are wonderful Tony!
Well 5 am is better than 3 am Daryl ;)
LOL indeed Bee
I was wondering what response you would come up with G-man, thanks for being reserved. (wink)
You can buy alarm clocks that cock-a-doodle-do Ron!
LOL no they don't Anthony
Teenagers can be more troublesome for sure Mama Zen!
There are more and more people keep chickens in the suburbs here now Beach Bum so I guess people will have to get used to it. ;)
I'm pleased it made you smile Jingle :)
Cheers Steve
I think they just crow when they feel like it Gleds
I'll look into it Grandma
Glad you enjoyed it Belinda
I agree AJ but then I don't live next door. (wink)
I think so SAW
A crowing cock sounds much better than something mechanical though don't you think Windsmoke?
is he really a rooster?
ReplyDeleteor just a rooster fetish ;)
Loved it..!!
ReplyDeleteHere is mine:
homing
Sorry I've not been by to visit lately, real life keeps getting in the way of my virtual one these days!
ReplyDeleteLoved the story as always - you have such a way with these things!
roosters aren't supposed to live in the city!!
ReplyDeleteWho knows Dianne? ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed it gautami
No apology needed Linda, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
You're right Clean&Crazy, they should be in the country.
Clever!
