"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

What a sweetheart! How could you not love her?
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
