The Rooster That Flew Across the Road

The Rooster that Flew Across the Road 

There once was a rooster named Red.
He hated to get out of bed.
People laughed when he crowed.
So he ran across the road.
Halfway there, tires screeched, he flew instead.

funny poem--on my Irish potato it is pretty much true, my ancestors did come over in the potato famine, I am not sure how many greats are in there, and there has been alot of farmers and they are sprinkled across from Virginia to texas in the southern areas.
