Dairy of a Sad Cow Part 1: Sour Milk
Le Moo is taking some time off between threads, hopefully doing the good things for her Moo-ness that we all wish for her. I recently reduced my stresses by orders of magnitude and hey, it's Christmas!
What can we do, while the heifer's gone, to maybe get a grin or chuckle when she returns?

Poetry is at best a balm, not a chuckle generator
Standing there in a puddle of mud:
a cow, black and white, but mostly
brown.
It seems to smile with those big black eyes,
lashes blinking at mosquitos,
tail lashing at flies,
covered in mud
simple pleasure.
Mud,
alfalfa,
field of grass.
She chews her cud and blinks her eyes,
staring through me like I’m not here.
You’re a shy one,
aren’t you? Brown
with mud.
You’re afraid.
You’re the one who licked my hand
like a puppy when we were younger.
(You don’t remember, do you?)
But I brought you a salt block,
just like last time. You don’t have to remember.

Ok. Here's a little Ogden Nash
I've never seen a purple cow
I never hope to see one.
But I can tell you this my friend,
I'd rather see than be one!
I love a purple cow. Vanilla ice cream with grape nehi. Yummy. I guess welch grape fizzy would work
Love from the Cowgirl LeeLee
