why didn’t the chicken cross the road?

Standard

driving down the track

leading to my granddaughter’s house

we met one of her pet chickens

mr. rooster

who had made the choice 

to just stand

in the middle of the road

not inclined nor heading

toward one side or the other

no way to go around him

we had to wait it out 

he was

playing chicken with us

we waited some more 

he finally got bored

proved his point

moved to one side

with each of us thinking

we had won.

why did the chicken….?

foghorn leghorn of television fame

 

and yet another wonderful nextdoor post on my neighborhood site:

Did you have a chicken missing?  We have a Leghorn chicken who appeared in our back yard this morning.  She is now in our coop with our three,  However, we really don’t need or want another chicken so if she is yours, please message me to arrange a time to come and collect her.  We have marked her feet with a purple antiseptic so we can identify which one is yours.

chicken or the egg?

Standard

today, mr. roger, our snowplow driver

came back to our room

and brought some of his favorite birds to meet us

these two are chickens named marco polo and maranella

and they are married.

his granddaughter has a chicken for a pet and reads with it

and he really loves birds

even more than snowplowing.

mr. roger even showed us some of maranella’s treasures – her eggs

and we had the chance to gently touch everything and ask all kinds of questions.

it was amazing because he knew all of the answers.

he sure knows a lot about a lot.
