This old feller is settin" on his porch one mornin", just after daybreak, when he spies a young-un" a-comin up the road, draggin" a big ol" roll of what looks to be chicken wire. He calls out to the youngster, "Hey, boy! Where ye goin"?" And the boy waves to him an" says, "I"m a-gonna go git me some chickens with this here wire." The ol" feller laughs and says, "Dang, boy! Don"t ye know ye cain"t catch no chickens with just chicken wire?" The boy shakes his head and don"t say nothin", jest keeps walkin" along down the road.

Along about noontime, the boy walks past the house again, but this time he"s a-draggin" that wire with about a half-dozen chickens in it. The boy looks up to the porch, where the old feller"s settin" after havin" his dinner, and calls out to him, "You"d be surprised whatcha kin do with chicken wire if"n ye got a mind to, Mister." The old feller"s jaw drops in surprise.

The next mornin", that same boy is a-hikin" up the road, a-carryin" a big ol" roll of duct tape. The old-timer again calls out to the youngster, "Hey, boy! Where ye goin" today?" And the boy waves to him an" says, "I"m a-gonna go git me some ducks with this here duct tape." The ol" feller laughs and says, "Dang, boy! Don"t ye know ye cain"t catch no ducks with duct tape?" The boy shakes his head and don"t say nothin", jest keeps walkin" along down the road.

Along about noontime, the boy walks past the house again, but this time he"s a-totin" that duct tape with about a dozen fine-lookin" ducks wound up in it. The boy looks up to the porch, where the old feller"s settin" after havin" his dinner, and calls out to him, "You"d be surprised whatcha kin do with duct tape if"n ye got a mind to, Mister." That old feller"s eyes bug out in amazement.

The next mornin" comes, and that ol" feller gets up extra early so"s to be out a-settin" on his porch when that youngster walks by. Sure enough, jest after daybreak he spies that boy a-comin" "round the bend in the road, and today he"s a-carryin" what looks like a bundle of sticks tied "round the middle. "Hey, boy! Whatcha got there today?" The boy waves and says, "I done got me some fine pussywillows here."

The ol" feller says, "Hold on, boy, while I go git my hat!"
