Poem Title:
Poem
She stood there and slooshed on the grass at her feet She’d have to move forward before she dared eat She walked a few paces to discover that Some other cow had left a foul splat Wherever she looked there was piddle or poo And that was the moment she knew what to do She looked at the grass which was drying and brown She might well have cringed but a cow cannot frown She went to the river to drink some clean water Across it, the farmer, his wife and his daughter Live in a house with a lush green lawn The greenest she’d seen since the day she was born But why should she settle for this frazzled field When over the river, a bounteous yield Well she had to go where she had to go And then in the water was hit by the flow She struggled against it, her progress was slow But she battled on to where green grass does grow Why should the farmer keep it to himself When cows were the subject of all of his wealth The river was raging, the current was strong She aimed for the lawn so she didn't go wrong And finally clambered the opposite side Astounded she’d managed a river so wide She pushed herself out and up onto the bank And looked back across to where the grass stank She’ll savour this green grass for all it is worth She took her first mouthful... Yuk... Astroturf!
