You heard about the accident, right? Little Hope was just playing on her pogo stick when out of the blue a big dog knocked her over and ran off with her toy. When her parents bought it they wanted Hope to spring eternally, but now the child never wants another pogo stick she is just a no spring chicken.
See, it is funny because you could probably see the "Hope springs eternal" coming as soon as I called the kid "Hope" but you probably were not expecting the one-two PUNch of the no spring chicken, so it is like double or triple funny which was the bare minimum considering how long it has been since I dropped a pun in here... LOL! Too much cool stuff on steemit, I can't keep up with it all!
Glad you're back, though! Huzzah for both the PUNches.
I hope she was OK after that dog sprung up out of nowhere!
Good job :)
