There was an old comic called Aidan
Who finds he's a gig that's been laid on
Indoors in late May
Now he waits for that day
And a poster with his face displayed on
(From a FB post by Aidan Goatley :
------------------------------------------------
I chat away to a guy online
One week passed and it's going well
I've kept to light and easy talk
No rush to give the big hard sell
I tell him that I've got three kids
No sign of him being shocked
But tell him I've five chickens too
And immediately I'm blocked
It's the weirdest reason I recall
For a courtship's sudden end
But if a man can't handle chickens
No way he'll be my friend
(From a tweet by Shona Scott :
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever been blocked online for? I’ll go first:
I’ve been chatting to a guy online for a week or so, and things have been going well. At least until I mentioned earlier today that I had 5 chickens. He replied “chickens?” and then blocked me )
