Ode to Cow

To have a cow is bliss
No more milk runs
No more having to miss
My TV show fun

No more lawn mowing
Clean pastures abound
All owing
To the cow that gets around

The backyard fence does its job well
Protecting neighbors and the cow
The snakes and rabbits vanished with no stories to tell
But don't know how

Could the cow be a predator?
Need I look over my shoulder?
For the agrarian terminator?
Come to think of it, your stares have grown bolder

Will you charge me like a bull one day
Like the tiger did to Roy?
No, no I'm just getting carried away
Hey, I never found out if you were a girl or a boy

You give so much
Never asking anything in return
Like a raise or bonus or such
Or more chum to be churned

I want a passport photo of you framed
Who else but you?
Let it be proclaimed
The word of the day is "moo"

As always...Comments welcome.

Cows are such wonderful creatures! I've always wanted to have a few cows, chickens, and other friendly animals roaming the yard, but until then, I've got my two bonehead pups! :)
