English term

mistress (in children mind)

English Art/Literary General / Conversation / Greetings / Letters chicken
I need to modification for children version for the poem below, but without change the basic meaning of the poem. Would you like to provide me with any suggestion or anything. Preferably focus on term of "don juan" and "mistress" but not limited on that terms. You could add images of the rooster and hen name in your country for example. Like "chaunticleer" for rooster or "lady pertolete" for hen. Many thanks

Chicken Claws

Far away over there ...
Starting the busy morning ...

iN RUSSIA, ROOSTER SCREAMS "ку-ка-ре-ку (KU-KA-RRE-KU`)"!!!!!
In Spanish they scream "QUIQUIRIQUÍ"

and French roosters say Cocorico!
In Germany they say Kikerikie!
and in Finnish kukkokiekuu!
In Dutch: Kukeleku
In Danish they say kykkeliky

While here, the don juan crow "Ku ku ru yuuuk"
To encourage his beloved mistress to peck worms enjoying their wake-up wiggle
Provided with a pair of her ugly claws
For the sake of two of her darling baby chicks
tweeting to utter the messages of their tummies

Clucky is nice, but hens .... .. not clucky lady ... ? is ok use hen in personification animal become human .. ?. And hens --> plural .. ?
Gary D Mar 7, 2008:
what about Clucky hens, as hens go cluck cluck cluck, this will keep with the theme of the poem. his beloved clucky hens.

Bear in mind that when hens are clucky they are usually cranky and sitting on eggs or looking after chicks.

lady / lady fair

Just an idea; the same meaning is essentially the same.

I have an extra 'same' in there.

agree Gary D : I think it is ok as it is, Children understand these things and when they don't, they ask, then it builds their word power.

Thank you, Gary. Generally I agree, but I can also understand why one might want to omit this particular word.
