He cries "fowl!"


People have all sorts of caveats and worries for you when they hear you live in the country.

 

You're so far away, what if something happens?
How can you stand the quiet?
What about snakes (spiders, bears, wolves, etc.)?
It's too much work to grow your own vegetables, save your strength, you aren't getting any younger!
What about salmonella (mad cow disease, lyme disease, botulism, etc.)?

 

But no one thinks to warn you of a common hazard that crops up again and again.
Yes, I'm referring to that which all sensible people try to avoid--

 

The pun.

 

First we got chickens:

Ha, ha, the yolk's on you.
Bet they only cost a b-wock and a half.
That's egg-cellent.

Next bees:

Bet you're all a-buzz.
Hope it doesn't give you hives.
Here's the stinger.

 

Even so, we perservered and acquired goats:

Seems for just a buck you could get some doe.
Sure gets your goat.
Are you serious or just kidding around?
 
I tremble to consider what we'll hear if we get pigs and sheep!
