Chicken Wire
A farmer is sitting on the front porch of his house one hot summer day, when this kid comes walking down the road carrying a big bundle of wire.
- Hey kid! - the farmer says:
- where ya goin' with that wire?
- Well - the kid drawls:
- this here ain't just any ol' wire, this here's chicken wire. I'm fixin' to catch me some chickens!
- You can't catch chickens with chicken wire! - says the farmer.
- Sure I can! - the kid says, and takes off down the road. He comes back at the end of the day and sure enough, he's got a whole mess of chickens caught in his chicken wire.
Well, the farmer's sitting on his porch the next day, and the same kid comes walking down the lane, carrying a big roll of tape.
- Hey kid! - the farmer yells:
- where ya goin' with that tape?
- Well, this here ain't just any ol' tape - says the kid:
- this here's duck tape. I'm fixin' to catch me some ducks!
- You can't catch ducks with duck tape! - says the farmer.
- Sure I can! - the kid says, and takes off down the road. He comes back at the end of the day and again, the farmer can't believe his eyes. The kid has a whole bunch of ducks all wrapped up tightly in his tape.
The next day the farmer's sitting on his porch again, and the kid comes walking down the road carrying a stick.
- Hey kid! - the farmer says:
- where ya goin' with that stick?
- Well, this here ain't just any old stick - says the kid:
- this here's pussy willow.
- Hang on - says the farmer:
- I'll get my hat!
