I'll tell you a story, you know how I love to tell stories...
As I said, I had a collection of salt and peppers. My Mother kept them in a special cabinet for me: salt and peppers inside the first shelf and encyclopedias on the bottom shelf. This nasty little girl had spent the night with me and she was a mess. That's what my Mother says. She was running up and down the hall and she ran into the cabinet, knocked half of my salt and peppers out and lots of them got broken. I cried and cried and from then on never wanted another set of salt and peppers. Well, that all changed, of course as I married and got into buying the dishes and 'accessories'. But that's another story. So these little rooster salt and peppers are very precious to me today. I thought you would want to know that. ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
We had some chickens
No eggs would they lay
We had some chickens
No eggs would they la-ay
So I said honey
So I said honey
This sure ain't funny
We're loosing money
No eggs would they lay.
Then came that rooster
Then came that rooster
Right into our yard
He caught them chickens
Right off of their guard
They're laying eggs now
They're laying eggs now
Like they never used to
The day that rooster
Came into our yard
We had some milk cows
We had some milk cows
No milk would they give
We had some milk cows
No milk would they gi-ive
So I said honey
So I said honey
this sure ain't funny
We're loosing money
No milk would they give.
Then came that rooster
Then came that rooster
Right into our yard
He caught them milk cows
Right off of their guard
They're giving egg nog
They're giving egg nog
Like they never used to
Since the day that rooster
Came into our yard.
We had some elephants
We had some elephants
No tusks would they grow
We had some elephants
No tusks would they grow
So I said...
Then came that rooster
So I said...
Then came that rooster
Right into our yard
He caught them elephants
Right off of their guard
They're laying eggs now
They're laying eggs now
Of solid ivory
Since the day that rooster
Came into our yard
