Chickenwire
From the chickenwire collection:
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 duck tape-I'm
fixin' to catch me some ducks!" "You can't catch ducks with duck
tape!"
"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 a pussy
willow."
"Hang on," the farmer says, "I'll get my hat".
