How Cliche!

Disclaimer: This is a cock and bull story.

“She’s going to have a cow!”
“Oh, congratulations, Bull!” exclaimed cock, “So she was screwing with you, eh?”
“Yup, Farmer sure made a good call when he dialed up Rancher and bought her last year. Oh howdy there, Pig!”
“I just heard the good news!” cried Pig as he handed Bull a cigar, “Now some advice from one dad to an expecting: don’t throw the baby out with the bath water!”
“Since when did piglet get baths?” laughed Cock, lighting their cigars.
“Oh, just the once last week, I threw him a curve ball and he ran into a mud puddle while trying to catch it. That’s what I get for playing catch when I’m over the hill. But how was I supposed to know about the bath, I’m a pig!”
“It sure has been muddy over there.” Said Bull, “Say, Cock, I think someone is yanking your chain!”
“Right you are! Must be feeding time, I’ll see you fellers later,” Cock hopped back towards his pen, muttering “I sure hope we don’t get small potatoes again today!”
“Hello boys! What are you doing, blowing smoke over here?” said Cat as he hopped down from the barn’s attic, “You know you can’t smoke in here.”
“Sorry, Cat, we were celebrating Bull and Cow’s exciting news, but we couldn’t go outside because I’m all tied up here at home.” Explained Pig.
“Well in that case, I guess I’ll cut you some slack,” said Cat, slicing through Pig’s rope with her claws. “Congrats, Bull!”
“Thanks so much, Cat! What’s new with you? I hear you’ve been drinking the Kool-Aid.”
“Well just last night, really, we ran out of milk, but, of course we just got some more from Cow in the morning.”
“Well I’m glad that’s settled, I can’t imagine why Farmer and his family like that stuff!” Said Bull, “I much prefer water, myself. Now I’ll just kick the bucket and we can get out of here.”
“You mean the one holding Horse’s water? How will that help?” Asked Pig, bewildered.
“No, just the empty green one over there, if I kick it up against the door it will swing open. I want to go to town and celebrate! I want to go hear the bluegrass at the hotel tonight, and all that jazz over at the bar!”
“Cat, you comin’?” Asked Pig, courteously.
“Naw, I’m gonna go face the elephant in the room. Ever since the circus forgot him here last May he’s been an absolute wreck.”

Cat stalked off and Pig and Bull went to find Cock to see if he wanted to come.
