an October poem

[Texas Lighthouse at Point Bolivar]
 
October
 
October is a cow, a female cow
She will moo for you and make you a shake
You have no choice but for you to rejoice
 
October is a pig, big old spoiled boar
He won't pay you never mind so you think
Walk past him quickly, he is gonna grunt
 
October is a baby chick, come quick
see how fast it learns, today tries to crow
Tomorrow it is to scratch, dig for worms
 
October is all the pets on my farm
Donkey Don, Billy goat, Cilly sheep, Shep
I've named them all, won't bore you with no more
 
Well except just one more, my favorite
October is my trusty horse, my love
Harley cares for me, nuzzles and gives me rides

Bonus fact, the only truth here, my birthday is in October, near Halloween

  6. Oh I do love all the animals, but even more that your bike got in to the poem -- or, I should say, horse of course. What a ride! :-)
