Poem
Farmer Jones set out to build a barn A shelter for his bovine When the wood started disappearing A little at a time The cows were taking it to pasture On the other side of the dell Little by little in the middle of night Hoping Jones wouldn't be able to tell This plans been festering for ages At least since some of them were veal But cows aren't very good at telling time So how long is really hard to tell Anyways they know they have a plan That's what matters when it comes down to it And what it is they've been planing Is "Bovine One" The Rocket Ship This time they're going to the moon They had a cousin who jumped over it once But that was so many years ago And cousin Eddie has long been somebody's lunch They got the plans out of Science Illustrated When Carl went in to use the can The day Farmer Jones stepped out of the house A little secret the cows are keeping from "The Man" They know nothing about jet propulsion So the cows broke down and asked the goat The smartest of all the farm animals Another little secret nobody knows In the process of building they used galvanized nails The goat said in space regular nails would rust I never would have thought of that I guess goats are even smarter than us When "Bovine One" The Rocket Ship was completed It was on a Wednesday the count down did fall The day Farmer Jones noticed his wood was missing And the authorities were called As they began to investigate A bright glow came from over the hill Still to this day no matter what people say They don't know what the object was nor ever will The Rocket Ship is still up there in orbit With umpteen cows inside Next time you hear a cow moo, look up cause you too Could see "Bovine One" as it passes by Did they ever make it to the moon? No one around really seems to know I bet you could get the answer though If you were to go and ask the goat
