I have a c o c k on yonder hill,
I keep him for a wonder,
And every time the c o c k do crow,
It lightens, hails and thunders.
I had to space out the word so they wouldn't put * on it.

This is a verbal riddle, it relies on the imagery. It's a description of something and you need to "see" it to understand. The answer is a shotgun.
The crowing is the firing of the gun. When you pull back the hammer on a gun is called c*cking the gun ( from that comes the saying don't go off half-c*cked).
" I have a shotgun on yonder hill, I keep it for a wonder, and every time the shotgun fires, it lightens, hails (shoots bullets) , and thunders."

Was that a riddle? Because it just sounded like a poem or something.
