Thanks for the new old saw!

Lhunardawen, good idea. I'd been drawing a blank. Thanks for the new old saw.

Why do birds fly south?

To flee from the Balrogs - the birds, after all, do have wings, and they can use them too...

Why did the chicken cross the road?

Why indeed, when Gandalf told him to stick to the path.

Why do birds fly south?

Film Legolas (in Rohan): They head for Isengard!

Gandalf: I'll be waiting for them, at the Inn of the Prancing Pony.
Saruman: Their love of the halfling’s leaf has clearly slowed their minds.

Merry: What? They're taking just a detour, a shortcut.
Sam: A shortcut to what?
Pippin: To mushrooms!

Here's another one to try!

What's black and white and red all over?

Many apologies if it's not the right time, or if that's a dumb one.

I'm reviving this thread because I like it.Anyway, I'm not sure this is an old saw.

The early bird gets the worm, but the early worm gets eaten.

Treebeard: If it would not have been so hasty it would not have been eaten.

Boots Tom sings a song about chickens to weary little hobbits... and MORE!!!

Yes, the title sounds like a pro-mo for a B-Movie but, i worked hard on this ok!!!

They all hurried forward, hobbits, chickens and ponies. Already half their weariness, sqawking and all their fears had fallen from them. Hey! Come merry chikies! rolled out the song to greet them.

hey! Come derry chickies! Hop along, my birdies!
Hobbits! chickens! Eggs all! We are fond of coup parties.
Now let the fun begin! Let us sqawk together!


or........

Then another chirpping voice, as chickeny and as feathery as Spring, like the song of a glad chick hopping down into the nest from a pecking morning in the hills, came falling like silver to meet them:

now let the chirpping begin! Let us chirp together
Of seed, grass, roads and crossing, eggs and cloudy weather,
Light on the hatching egg, dew on the feather,
Wind on the open barn coup, beeks in the heather,
Chicks by the shady pool, Hens splashing water:
Old Rooster Bombadil and the River-Hen Daughter!


hope you guys like... the last song did involve the whole chicken and crossing thing so, don't say i'm off topic. long live Chicken!
