| A Swiss Braunvieh cow contemplates nature (Wikipedia) |
my well-flanked one.
We'll stand there in quiet.
I'll ruminate.
You'll munch on the grass.
Together we'll watch
the young ones butt heads
and run in circles.
And we'll remember
those long ago days of spring.
Today's poem was inspired by a story we overheard at the T-J Diner just north of Medford, Oregon, as we slowly drive home. A rancher said, "I finally got that motorcycle I wanted. I put four booties on one of my cows and called her a cow-a-socki."
Maybe some days, it's just OK to have fun with this poem-a-day challenge.
