The Farmer

I met a farmer who says that he uses every part of the chicken except for the cluck.
“What about cows?” I asked him. “You use the moo?”
“Nope,” he said.
“What about pigs?” I asked him. “You use the oinks?”
“Don’t use those either,” he said.
“So, what do you do with them?”
He took me to a cellar door and we walked down the stairs.
Rows and rows of jars, full of clucks, oinks, and moos.
“There’s also a few screams from nosy tresspassers,” he grinned.
I walked out with a jar, containing his last gasp of surprise.

One thought on “The Farmer”

  1. Haha! The question/answer “flow” is just right. The transition to people with the sentence “a few screams from nosy trespassers” and the final sentence. Very good!
