It's an old joke I had some fun with

Telegraph Message

Two sisters run a farm and their bull just bit the dust
We gotta get a new bull or we just go bust,

Old sis says I値l go to town and buy a bull from that Sales Yard Staff,
We don稚 have a telephone but I値l use that telegraph,

And if I have bought the bull, I値l send you notice later,
You値l get my message thru ol� Joe the Tgraph operator.

Then hitch the trailer to the truck and bring it into town
I値l be at the stock yards , you can bring that truck around.,

Well Glory be, They had a bull , but the cost was ,overboard,
She just had to get one, but one she could afford,

The price took all her money , leaving her a dollar bill.
Now to see that telegraph and send a message o弾r the hill.

The operator said, now maybe Miss, I don稚 know what you致e heard ,
But after all addressing , it costs a buck per word,

Sis was deep disheartened, her message chance was dead,
She thought for just a minute , then brightened up and said,

I値l take that buck per word. Just type comfortable to send,
She値l get my message and you bet she値l bring that trailer in,

The operator was dumbfounded, a crazy note from you,
One word to your sister you think that it will do,

Sis say痴 don稚 you worry, my sisters kinda slow,
Being blonde can be a blessing sometimes don稚 you know.

She値l just read that word one syllable at a time,
And I知 sure she値l get the message, her reading痴 just a crime.

Yeah, she値l break down my one word to a message plain and full,
She値l slowly read that one long word as Com -for- de- bull!

I'd say she was a woman of few words� One, to be exact.

When the baby bull returned to the herd, who did he run up to first? The mama bull or the papa bull?
