Two goats managed to find their way onto the train tracks in Brooklyn on Monday, disrupting the traffic for a few hours, but they were certainly there long enough to inspire some terrible puns.

New York's subway tweeted "Two very baaaaad boys" while Spectrum News said: "There are no delays for graze." Another Twitter fan wrote; "You’ve goat to be kid’in me", while another quipped: "These goats will have some stories to tell their KIDS one day. Get it ? Kids."

The goats were rounded up with the help of comedian and animal activist Jon Stewart and his wife Tracey.

The #NYPD says the goats were tranquilised and sent to an animal care centre.
