Boo-Cockee is a rooster. Boo-Cockee has decided, without any formal agreement or mutual understanding, that you are his person. He follows you to work. He follows you home. He is outside when you wake up. He is there when you try to leave. This book documents the full arc of a relationship that one party committed to entirely while the other party did not consent to participate in, and that committed party has spurs, no concept of personal space, and absolutely nowhere else to be.
Illustrated in cartoon art and narrated with the exhausted resignation of someone who has genuinely tried everything and the rooster remains, this book is funny in the way that only truly relentless situations can be funny. You will recognize Boo-Cockee. Not necessarily as a rooster. Everyone has a Boo-Cockee in their life. Some are roosters. Some are coworkers. Some have a LinkedIn profile and send connection requests monthly. This book gave yours a name.
This Book IS For:- Anyone who has ever had a follower... digital, physical, or agricultural... who simply would not stop following
- Fans of comedy that identifies the horror lurking inside mundane situations and refuses to look away
- People who have used the word boundaries multiple times in a week and it still hasn't worked
- Gift-givers who want something that will be read aloud within ten minutes of unwrapping, guaranteed
- People who believe roosters are inherently wholesome and should not be used as vehicles for satire
- Anyone currently farming who has a specific rooster situation and is not yet far enough away from it to laugh
- Readers who need their narrative arcs to include resolution, growth, and healthy closure
- Gift recipients who are currently dealing with their own Boo-Cockee and have not reached the stage where it's funny
- White elephant gift exchanges... weird enough to delight any recipient, relatable enough to land with everyone
- Gag gifts for the friend who has been complaining about their clingy situationship for six months
- Housewarming gifts for someone moving to a rural property who does not yet know what's coming
- Any occasion where you want the gift to spark a genuine story from the recipient about their own Boo-Cockee
For roughly the price of a mediocre lunch that you won't remember eating by dinner, this book gives you something that sticks. Someone reads it. Someone laughs. Someone says I know a person exactly like this rooster and then goes quiet for a moment while they think about that person. That is what good comedy does. Lunch just makes you briefly less hungry and then you're hungry again and the rooster is still there.
Boo-Cockee was waiting when you opened this page. He will be waiting when you close it. He was at your car this morning even though you don't have a car. He cannot be stopped. The least you can do is buy the book, understand your situation, and pass that understanding along to someone else who deserves to know. It costs almost nothing and delivers considerably more than almost nothing, which puts it ahead of most gifts in any category at any price point.
