Story of a rooster's luck

A rooster in Japan
yum yum
would be meatthree
yum yum
for lions and tigers
yum yum
in a zoo in Kyoto
yum yum
but thrice he didn't
yum yum
become meat
yum yum
so now he  is luck
yum yum
the feathers stricken
hum hum


Saw a story on the BBC's news about a rooster
who escaped from being fodder for lions  a few times
and therefore was inspired.
