#3 Are we sure these folks did not catch a glimpse of Foghorn Leghorn of Looney Toons fame?

#7 He didn't pick-up, must have been on the road.

Hence, why did the chicken cross the road.

He was been chased by Harland.

#8 From the infernal realm of the owl
Prowled a helluva hefty foul fowl,
But it met something scarier,
Something ur-cassowarier,
That gobbled it up with a growl!

Proud of what Nature done for its form,
Stretchy knit's what it wore "to keep warm."
All the 'saurs were impressed
By this purdy one's chest,
And now Tyson wants clones for the farm.

Its wishbone suggests this amphibian
Cooed five-note motifs in the Phrygian.
I shall stake my career
On my musical ear --
This "chicken" was a Stygian pigeon!

#10 "This dinosaur's background is checkered,"
Says the heck-bird's new museum placard.
"Though he's sprung from the rock,
This recalcitrant cock
Can't escape from his fowl fossil record!"

Og the hunter was plucking a dinosaur
When it came round -- gee whiz, was it ever sore!
Og tore off with his club,
But too late: "Whoa there, bub,
What the hell kind of chick do you take me for?"

#11 Zenobia Floger6220, my friend here has but one thing to say to you....

Translated from Rooster: "Bravo - fine poultry poetry from the poet laureate of Rantburg."

#12 I have no idea why, but I have an urge to dub Joe Pesci over that rooster. I just expected it to unleash a stream of obscenities, not crow.
