Cock of the Walk

A LOCAL FARMER DECIDED HIS ROOSTER, AN OLD BIRD, NEEDED REPLACING TO KEEP THE HENS HAPPY.  HE ACQUIRED A NEW YOUNG BIRD WITH FANCY FEATHERS AND PUT HIM IN THE YARD.  THE OLD ROOSTER CAREFULLY APPROACHED THE NEW COMER TO HIS DOMAIN AND WANTING TO KEEP THE PEACE OFFERED THE MUCH YOUNGER COCK A PROPOSAL.  TO DETERMINE WHO WOULD BE THE BOSS THEY SHOULD RACE THREE TIMES AROUND THE YARD AND THE WINNER WOULD BE ABLE TO TOP ALL THE HENS.   THE YOUNGSTER, DECIDED THIS WAS A GREAT DEAL AS HE KNEW HE WAS MUCH FASTER THAN THE OLD COCK.  THE OLD BOY ALSO KNEW THIS AND SUGGESTED THAT THE YOUNGSTER  GIVE HIM A 50 YARD HEAD START,  THE YOUNG COCK THOUGHT IT OVER FOR A MOMENT AND DETERMINED HE COULD STILL WIN THE RACE FOR THE HENS.

THE RACE WAS ON WITH THE OLD ROOSTER IN THE LEAD AND THE YOUNG COCK COMING ON STRONG JUST ABOUT TO CATCH THE OLD MAN WHEN THE FARMER SUDDENLY STEPPED FROM THE BACK DOOR WITH HIS SHOTGUN AND SHOOTS THE YOUNG ROOSTER DEAD----EXCLAIMING "DAMN! THAT'S THE THIRD QUEER ROOSTER I PURCHASED THIS MONTH"!  THE OLD ROOSTER CROWED AND WALKED AWAY TOPPING THE NEAREST HEN!
