the cow
thundered out the back door she's about her last business gambling on fairer pastures so far escaping detection of overhead security cameras all that elevator music to calm her down she wasn't buying it or willing to cash her chips in she has plans for heaven still on earth and she's bringing three new friends all of them together are AWOL on the lam missing from the action watching the telly two police cars attempt to coral her in this is dire business they interview a witness in an International Harvester cap "Can you believe that Nutter?" That feller who set up an account on that society network the youngsters is on? A fund fer fugitive cows? Don't that beat all?" "If'n y'all asks me, the girls all belongs on me burger bun." But at $2,000 a pop, the cows are now rising to the cream on the top. $3,800 and climbing. $16,000 til goal to purchase freedom. I applaud and contribute to their endeavor. Never met a hamburger worth eating or that I liked... Here's to having this rare story end well and not well done. Here's to hoping the four girls live to grow old --may this cow tale end better than James Agee's.* written to honor the escapees may the four girls win their hard run freedom LEGAL COPYRIGHT FOR THIS WORK/POEM AND ALSO FOR THIS AUTHOR MELISSA A HOWELLS AND ALSO FOR THIS LEGALLY COPYRIGHTED SITE TITLE MELOO STRAIGHT FROM HER TILT-A-WORLD TAKEN FROM A REAL LIVE NEWS STORY APRIL 4, 2017 2:58pm/PST DATE /TIME STAMPED JAMES AGEE...WROTE A MOTHER'S TALE READ IT SOMETIME...MAYBE IT WILL OPEN YOUR EYES AND HEARTS A BIT. I think The Dalai Lama might enjoy this tale. It turns out that there were six cows in St. Louis MO who went for their great escape. Other cows in other lands have faced a similar trial. A whole herd of dairy cows in Germany were saved from certain death because in the farmer's eyes they had outlived their usefulness. Vote for this poem |
