Chicken joke: J. Gordon Coogler
02May09
J. Gordon Coogler (1865-1901) was a South Carolina poet-for-hire of notoriously meager talent.
Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
J. Gordon Coogler:
The chicken ran off, out of fear to be cooked.
She went crost the highway, but oughter have looked.
Alas! for the Chicken — her demise it was graphic.
She never was much good at dodging no traffic.
