Poem
A TRUE STORY.....(honest engine!!) This is fine country living !! __________________________________________________ T'was the night after New Years, and all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The stockings and tree stored away with a sigh Finished the last drop of eggnog, and the last piece of pie Ma in her kerchief, and Pa in his cap Had just settled down for a long winter's nap When the phone by the bedside made OH! Such a clatter!! That I woke in a daze, to see what was the matter! Neighbor Dan on the phone....he needed some help! I laughed when he told me, in spite of myself! A cow's in his pool....so chubby and plump!! He needed strong arms to help haul out that big rump!! Rushing over,...to my wondering eyes should appear There's Old Bessie in water right up to her ears! The prancing and pawing of each little hoof, Old Bessie was frightened....she had made a big goof!! Friends ran to the rescue, and went straight to work... Taking care that poor Bessie wouldn't get hurt. They put heads together and laid out a plan, Tied ropes 'round Old Bessie as fast as they can. Then hooked to Dan's truck, and gave him a whistle And up came Old Bessie like the down of a thistle!! She shook from the cold like a bowlful of jelly, So they patted and prodded, till she rolled on her belly. Then off ran the cow, with relief and so merry, Her cheeks a bit frozen, her nose like a cherry! We were offered hot chocolate to warm up again, Four o'clock in the morning, and was time to turn in! Our neighbor called out, as we got out of sight "Happy New Year and Thank You! And to all a good night!!" ------------------------------------------------------- See?? Country living isn't as boring as people might think!
