The bartender asked the creative person and the chicken, “What will it be?”
And the creative person said, “I’ll have a glass of green wine, please.”
And the chicken said, “I’ll have a green of glass wine, please.”
“A green of glass wine?” asked the bartender. “You mean a glass of green wine.”
“No,” said the chicken, “I mean a green of glass wine.”
“How can I make you a green of glass wine?” asked the bartender.
And the chicken said, “It’s all about being creative. Use your imagination.”
The bartender walked away. A short time later, he returned with a glass of green wine for the creative person and a green glass for the chicken.
“This green glass is empty,” said the chicken. “I asked for a green of glass wine.”
“That’s right,” said the bartender. “It is full of glass wine.”
“No,” said the chicken, “it is empty.”
And the bartender said, “Use your imagination.”

“What did the poet say to the artist?”
“I dunno.”
“Roses are red
Violets are blue

“What did the artist say to the poet?”
“What?”
“Roses are red
Violets are blue
You’re better at rhyming than I am.”

“How can I be more creative?”
“Change your name.”

“Besides riding on the back of a chicken, as mentioned in Part I, is there another way to beat a creative block?”

The creative person and the chicken finished their drinks and went to the bar to pay the bartender.
“Here’s a hundred-dollar bill to pay for our drinks,” said the chicken. “Keep the change.”
“Where?” said the bartender. “I don’t see any money.”
And the chicken said, “Use your imagination.”
