cow verse
12.08.05
The cow is of the bovine ilk;
one end is moo,
the other milk.- Ogden Nash
Sometimes while hanging out with friends, I find myself talking at length about cows. On the occasion that I realize that my captive audience is no longer captive, I like to end abruptly by saying, "I know a poem about cows. Wanna hear it?" I then quote Mr. Nash; never getting the anticipated laughter response, but rather silence or questions like, "Ilk? You mean 'Elk,' right?"

I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
"It is futile," I said.
"You can never--""You lie," he cried,
And ran on.
- Stephen Crane
