That clown prop looks mighty tasty.

This is Bruster my Rooster -

Who was a very happy bird
He lived at the Circus
with all the Clowns
& his life was just absurd !
He used to live on a Farm
and he didn't give a darn -
where he used to fight ALL DAY
just to keep all the other Roosters away
BUT ;
He got tired of fighting
and getting Black & Blue
just to keep His Dozen Little
Egg Makers to screw
SO ;
He gave up doing his thing
FOR A LIVELYHOOD WITH THE CLOWNS
IN THE CENTER RING !
6 / 1978

You were with the BLUE UNIT then .

This Rooster was Very Friendly & I could set him loose , he would walk around freely outside & dig around in the grass for bugs etc., Children could pet him etc. & I would then put my hand out & say COME UP & he would clime right on & I would then put him on my shoulder or eventualy on the Broom Stick Handle & he was Fine .
He also did a couple other routines
A One Leg Stand & Waved on Command along with the Photography Gag .

The neat thing Bud is that you made that YOUR gag. I'm sure others have used chickens/roosters before, but I can't remember any of them. That's what set you apart from some of the others. ~frank
