Roosters Don't Come with Snooze Buttons!

Mom and I traveled to North Carolina to see my grandparents this weekend! Thanks to the Garmin GPS system, we found a new quicker route that cut thirty minutes off our travel time! Whoo hoo! As mentioned before in a previous post, my grandparents live on what is almost a small farm, where they raise tons of vegetables, fruit, chickens, and one annoying rooster! The rooster's name is Tarzan because when my cousins where little they thought the rooster's crowing sounded like Tarzan! Every animal at my grandparent's house has to have a name, so Tarzan it was!
Mom and Tarzan have a bad history! Tarzan used to sit outside on the porch banister outside the window of the room we used to stay in when we went to my grandparent's house and crow every morning. One morning Mom finally had enough crowing and took an umbrella and knocked Tarzan's legs out from under him, so he fell off the banister. He stopped crowing and didn't sit outside that window anymore.
During this visit, Mom and I slept in a different room. Adam and I have slept in this room before and NEVER heard Tarzan crowing, but Tarzan decided to seek revenge for Mom's malicious act with the umbrella! Every morning, he started crowing at dawn and didn't stop for hours. He would crow until almost 10 am! What rooster does that?
Having a rooster crowing all morning is worse than having an alarm clock that won't turn off and there is NO snooze button on a rooster!
