Roosters

I hate roosters. It's a known fact. I started my dislike of them when I was in Russia in 1997. My time in Moz  did not help my dislike--it worsened it. The stupid birds crow whenever they feel like it, whether it be 3:00 in the afternoon or 2:00 in the middle of the night. For my 30th birthday in Moz, I wanted to go somewhere where I wouldn't hear a rooster. We went to a beach resort and didn't hear any--it was LOVELY. In my mind, roosters are just one of those necessary, annoying animals that help accomplish something for the greater good (help produce more chickens for eating and laying eggs). They are not quaint, they are not pretty, they are not darlingly chic. Someone in my parents' neighborhood has a rooster. I hear it in the mornings when I brush my teeth. Really? Here in Bucks County? Please get rid of it!
