Ah Ted, you had me going there for a minute. But then it struck me; you were, of course, speaking allegorically. Your example of a horse race between three horses named "Chicken", "Egg" and "Lame Duck" tri-actively symbolized a quintessential question, namely, "Which came first? The Chicken or the Egg, or the "Lame Duck".
You are brilliant. In your compendium the so-called "chicken" is within its own self a representation of the so-called "egg"... inasmuch as both are good to eat.
And as for the so-called "Lame Duck" it is, in fact, a "Lame Duck". Gallant Ted included a lame duck to remind us to be kind to our web footed friends; because the duck might be somebody's brother, who lives all alone in the swamp, where it's cold and damp.
You may think that this is the end...well it ain't.
I want to add that I am what I am today because of the inchoate yet inaesthetic stories of the inestimable Gallant Ted.
