When peacock met his one great love across the mighty divide he knew instantly that he had found a rare beauty.
It was beholding of him he knew to attract the fair hen with a show of his magnificence and grandeur.
Each day he’d show off his feather and finery wanting to impress the humble hen by his spectacular display, the strutting and prancing, his tales of bravery and courage, of victory and achievement.
Peacock sidled up to the hen, fluttered his magnificent tail, and made an all out effort to win her affection.
Hen looked at the enthusiastic peacock and rubbed her head against his flank. She liked him as he was, show was not necessary, for she knew a good cock was hard to find. She was proud to be his mate.

Ahhh, she loved him for who he is because he was one of a kind and hard to find. I’m glad love came so easy, but then cocks are like that. 😀 Great story Michael!
Thank you Joy, I’d believe a good one can be hard to find, like in life I find…..
That’s what I hear!
Excellent–and since there seems a shortage of good men, there’s always Mr Everlast….
Mr who?
I knew I was going to get trouble with my comment–the old-fashioned term was “marital aids”…
Ah I thought so, every home should have some…..or at least every woman….
It’s a lot less trouble than the few men I knew in my younger days….
And always reliable J…..save for a battery or two…
Always reliable, and I almost never use batteries. Buzzing is not a “natural” sound like whispered breaths…are we getting hot now? I am so wicked….
Oh J should have known you had such a side to you…..
Some people are appalled, who know I’m a “woman of Faith”…(and I’m proudly more prudish than many; but better that I’m not out cruising the streets, bars, etc, right?)
Well my dear if you look at you gospels Christ was always surrounded by women and going to parties……where often he either bought the wine or made it when he got there….so you see most of us struggle with sexuality because we are human and thus we behave accordingly….so good for u I say…
🙂
Very sweet story with a good flow till the end
Thank you so much Huma, have a good day…
I’ve taken part in a few bible studies, but none were ever quite as fun as the one going on here 😀 I enjoyed this tale, Michael. It was noble of the cock to put forth his best effort rather than taking it for granted the hen could figure out for herself all his great traits. Of course she could, but why pass up the the spectacular show? 🙂
Exactly Mandy why would you not let him strut his stuff….thanks for stopping by….😃😃
I would have no objection 😂
And who said bible study has to be dull?
Especially with you as the teacher 😅
I think some might find my version of bible study theologically challenging…..lol
No more than anyone else’s 😅
You may find it a blushing experience 😆😆😆
I’ll just bet, lol.
Lol😆😆😆😆
Your story was hilarious, especially the last line. LOL:)
Thank you Susan, glad you could laugh with me….
So dearie us to begin with, the dancing the mating ritual, then of course shock..horror..I gasped…I roflmao! Ten cheers for the cocks of this world! Very funny mate 😉
Thank you Jenny glad you got it.
That according to my IPad was meant to say “so serious to begin with”. Good grief!
You are in fine form. Think I’ll leave it at that.
How very correct of you…lol….I’m looking forward to your TW today…
Sweet story! Love at first sight! Now, love birds. 🙂
Thank you so much Jessie I appreciate you stopping by…
Lovely story of acceptance; she didn’t need the show to make up her mind.
ROFLMAO …. Michael – you are brilliant!
What a punch of a second to last line!
Hysterical!
I do so appreciate a man with a tremendous sense of humour XD
And reading through the comments, I have to add … I appreciate your sense of “bible study!”
Lol….that was a bit of fun Pat, for days when there doesn’t seem to be much to have fun over.
Brilliantly hilarious piece of writing.
