A New Roster in the farm

An old farmer decided it was time to get a new rooster for his
hens.  The  current rooster was still doing an okay job, but
he  was  getting on in years.   And the farmer figured getting a new
rooster  couldn't hurt anything.  So he  buys a young cock from the
local  rooster  emporium, and turns him loose in the  barn yard.
 
Well, the old rooster sees the young one strutting around
and he   gets a little  worried.  So, they're trying to replace me,
thinks he old rooster.  I've got  to do something about this.  He
walks  up to the new bird and says, "So you're  the new stud in
town?  I  bet you really think you're hot stuff, don't you?   Well I'm
not  ready for the chopping block yet.  I'll bet I'm still the
better    bird.  And to prove it, I challenge you to a race around
that hen house over  there.  We'll run around it ten times and
whoever  finishes first gets to have  all the hens for himself."
        Well, the young rooster was a proud sort, and he definitely
thought he was  more than a match for the old guy.  "You're
on,"     said the young rooster.  "And  since I know I'm so great,
I'll   even give you a head start of half a lap.   I'll still win
easy,"  said the young rooster.
     So the two roosters go over to the hen house to start the
ra ce   with all the  hens gathering around to watch.  The race
begins  and all the hens start  cheering the roosters on.  After the
        first lap, the old rooster is still  maintaining his lead. 
After   the second lap, the old guy's lead has slipped a  little but
he's  still hanging in there.  Unfortunately, the old rooster's
lead  continues to slip each time around, and by the fifth lap
he's  just barely in  front of the young rooster.
        By now the farmer has heard all the commotion.  He runs into
the   house, gets  his shotgun, and runs out to the barn yard
figuring  a fox or something is  after his chickens.  When he gets
there,  he sees the two roosters running  around the hen house, with
the  old rooster still slightly in the lead.  He  immediately
takes  his shotgun, aims, fires, and blows the young rooster away.
        As he walks away slowly, he says to himself........
        "Dang, that's the third gay rooster I've bought this month."
