A Bovine Analogy

A Bovine Analogy By Elton Camp The bull has the best end of the deal Because no discomfort does he feel Morning sickness is to him unknown Into no hormonal tizzy is he thrown He doesn’t begin to gain any weight But, as before, continues to look great It isn’t necessary he eats for two So just his regular meals will do When she’s no longer nice and trim All the cows in the pasture belong to him While, about her, no other bull will care And won’t even notice that she’s there When her delivery time comes near The bull has not a single reason to fear Even if she should strain and bawl He will feel no searing pain at all Does this analogy bring to mind The situation found with humankind? There’s only one thing that I can say For the females, give a big hooray!
