Errant Cow
Well I've said it now
Laid food for the cow
Said what I know how
But it isn't done
Yes I've had my fun
Still cow needs a pun
A tasty wry curd
You can say the word
Make queen of the herd
Not good telling puns
(The finishing touch) Butchered every one

Wasn't expecting the butchering as the finishing touch.. :) :)
ReplyDeleteOh, poor cow! That's a 'finishing' touch for sure.
ReplyDeleteThat's definitely a big finish
ReplyDeleteI've "reworded" this as I was horrified by the reading of these three comments above. My cow hasn't died, she's just not a good at telling puns. Like me.
ReplyDeletePlease forgive me please, guys.

Oh, that's better! Thanks for bringing out your real meaning more. (But you can see how we thought the other, in your first version.)
ReplyDeleteButchering is such a clear cliche and cattle make us think of it. So it is no wonder you used the word. In the creative world, it is used quite a lot.
ReplyDeleteOh glad you clarified. I saw your note on my comments page. Don't we all love a non-punning-cow! No worries. Thanks Jim!
ReplyDeleteIf the response to a pun is a groan, is the response to a cow pun a moo?
ReplyDeleteLove it, Priscilla.
Delete..
Fun! The word butchered is key!
ReplyDeleteThe re-writes work Jim. I get it now.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jim, for the udderly fine poem. I am quite amooshed by it. :)
