Well, Kenny the rooster costs a lot
of money, but the farmer decides
he'd be worth it. So, he buys Kenny.

The farmer takes Kenny home and
sets him down in the barnyard, first
giving the rooster a pep talk.

“I want you to pace yourself now. You've got a lot of chickens to
service here, and you cost me a lot
of money. Consequently, I'll need
you to do a good job. So, take your
time and have some fun, ” the farmer said, with a chuckle.

Kenny seemed to understand, so
the farmer pointed toward the hen
house and Kenny took off like a
shot. WHAM! Kenny nails every hen
in the hen house, three or four
times, and the farmer is really shocked!

After that, the farmer hears a
commotion in the duck pen, sure
enough, Kenny is in there.

Later, the farmer sees Kenny after a
flock of geese, down by the lake.
Once again, WHAM! He gets all the
geese. By sunset, he sees Kenny out in the fields chasing quail and pheasants.

The farmer is distraught and
worried that his expensive rooster
won't even last 24 hours. Sure enough, the farmer goes to bed
and wakes up the next day to find
Kenny on his back, stone cold in the
middle of the yard.

Vultures are circling overhead. The farmer, saddened by the loss of
such a colourful and expensive
animal, shakes his head and says, “Oh, Kenny, I told you to pace yourself. I tried to get you to slow
down, now look what you've done
to yourself. ”

Kenny opens one eye, nods toward
the vultures circling in the sky, and
says, “Shhh, they're getting closer. ”
