Carmine quotes No. 10 : The chicken and the pot

Twenty-one degrees at 11am and overcast. [Raining by 4pm.] What was that I said yesterday about the power of words to change the weather?

Where's me fleece.

I'm off to feed the chickadees. Lately the old cockerel has taken to attacking me every time I go in the run. I think it's pretty rum given that without me he and his girlies would starve. I'm told I should grab him, hold him upside down by his feet and give him a good talking to, but I have in mind the following saying somebody round here once told me : "The older the chicken the better the soup" ...
