Sir, Butler and Boy ~ Pheasant Plucker ~ Back Cover
I’m not a pheasant plucker
I’m the pheasant plucker’s son
And I’ll sit here plucking pheasants
Until the pheasant plucker comes
(Now say that three times fast :D)
This story involves pheasant hunting with the intent to eat the birds afterwards which I appreciate isn’t everyone’s thing? (IT’S NOT HUNTING KINK THOUGH DEAR GOD IS THAT A THING???) Personally I’ve always felt like you have the moral higher ground if you can actually kill the animal you eat instead of cowards like me who just buy it in a store/restaurant.
It’s funny, I was taught that one slightly differently to the version everybody else seems to know – I always remember the last line as “Until the pheasant plucking’s done” but I’ve yet to here that one from anybody outside my family?
I’m actually very good at tongue twisters though – I can Red Lorry, Yellow Lorry with the best of ’em O;
I can’t even say that one time fast :)
aaaaaand if youve said it, there’s a possibility it lives on the internet somewhere (but I refuse to google hunt kink to find out)
I need to keep my brain bleach in reserve for the unavoidable events.
I wouldnt call myself a coward. I’d call myself disabled.
Even if I wasnt, I admit, looking something in the eye and killing it, is not my thing. I havent got the separation particles to say, I should not be upset, as the thing would eat me too. We are food. and today, I eat.
which is true. I have no qualms about being eaten.
I’d hope later rather than sooner, but if something catches me off guard, well hell ;) kudos to it :)
anyhoo.
my random two cents you didnt ask for :)
(I have larger problems with industrialized meats, inhumane killing practices, and because of the scale of the industrialized events, meat wasting)
Ah, I love a pheasant plucking!
Iwas taught that particular tongue twister very young by a drunken relative and have always taken great joy in getting friends to say it. There was the one occasion where someone kept fowling it up (boom boom) and didn’t notice what they were saying wrong.
The pheasant plucking rhyme I learned is:
I AM the mother pheasant plucker
I pluck mother pheasants
I am the meanest mother pheasant plucker
To ever pluck a mother pheasant
Hank Green did a FUN song called Mother Pheasant Plucker that is going to be stuck in my head this whole arc XD
