Curious Betsy

 

"week's optional prompt, be prepared to write about three things you hate and tear them down, and/or three things you love and celebrate them."  Since my write was fairly long and my time was short I just wrote of one -- LOVED THAT COW!! 




. . . 

  Curious Betsy 

I called her Betsy 

A pretty cow came over 

Over to check me out 

First time, we met that day 

Met on a back road 

A shortcut but slow 

She was with her friends 

But I was new to her 

The others stayed in the field 

Grazing luscious grass they'd found 


I  asked Betsy to follow me 

She smiled and turned my way 

I drove slowly for her to follow 

She followed good 

How long will this last 

Strange stuff ahead frightened  her 

She turned her back 

Headed for her herd

My grandparents had four cows I helped milk during summers away from school until high school when I had "things" to occupy my time. You know, boys and things. We had names for all four cows, my two sisters and I. Bertha, Martha, Geraldine and Hortense. I know, they sound funny today. Loved your poem Dr. Jim. Enjoy your weekend, both you and Mrs. Jim.
