Diary of Roadkill

I stepped out onto the road.  It occurred to me that what I was doing was none too smart.  I'd beenwarned.  But I'd never been to the other side of the road.  Whatever was over there, it had to be different from what was over here, and I'd seen everything over here.  I was jaded.  I took a tentative step or two onto the tar road.  It seemed safe enough.  I saw nothing but two lights, like stars, growing larger.   I slowly lumbered toward the center of the road.  Glory be, I was doing it.  Then I heard an engine singing, and the lights blinded me, and now I lie with my legs in the air, staring at nothing much in particular.

Chicken? Ex-chicken.

I've disabused myself of the failed idea that the grass is always greener.

Kind of Ballardesque, this is.

I can relate to that (presumed above to be a) Chicken. But I very much doubt that the word 'jaded' would cross a chicken's, so I'll assume it's a deer instead. It'll leave a bigger dent in the car too.

Big joke in 1977.Why did the chicken cross the road? Because it was stapled to a punk.

I, a European (alien), have been force-fed with almost every imaginable cultural particle coming from America. Brought up on Sesame Street, Cosby and Bo & Luke. Later: Twin Peaks, Daily Show, Simpsons.

However, some things are filtered out in the cultural transfer! Some things have only come in allusions and unspoken hints. The 'why did the chicken cross the road jokes' is on of them. I never heard one of them in full. The knock-knock who's there? Is far better known over here.

But what escaped me even more, the mothership of all jokes (and that's why I looked it up on the Internet last week) is the reason why limericks so often contain the city of Nantucket. I just couldn't find a dirty word to rhyme with it.

Now I know. I'm a little disappointed, I mus say.
