There was a farmer,
sitting on the front porch of his house this 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!""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, this here's duct tape -- I'm fixin' to catch me some ducks!""You can't catch ducks with duct tape!" the farmer yells back. "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 had 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, this here's pussy willow.""Hang on," the farmer says, "I'll get my hat."
