I Couldn’t Corntrol Myself!

So blame Karen for what is about to follow, because although I wrote the paragraph below, she started the silliness when she labeled her post ear-ie.
So it’s ALL her fault!

Looks like a husk-y specimen to me. You’ve got to get up pretty ear-ly to catch this guy! I think he’s wearing a silk coat. He tells corny jokes, but there’s usually more than a kernel of truth in them. He tried to join the army but they said he was too yellow. When he was younger, he was a stalk-er. He tried to ride down a cob-blestone street and that’s how creamed corn was created.

(Sorry. I couldn’t help myself.)
