Notes About The Poem

A Hard Lesson

I once had a friend, Elmer Fudder

Who had an obsession with butter

Could not tell bull from cow

But he soon found out how

Milking what he thought ... was an udder!

A prize winner+ Greg (even though I had to check out the US pronouncement of 'butter')

Way to milk that pun, Gershon ... I'm a punner from way back! (The worse, the better!) Thanks, Buddy! :o)

Thank you so much, Tania - I don't do a lot of light poetry, but I enjoy it when I do ... especially if it can bring a smile to someone else! Blessings! :o) <3

G'day Greg … sounds like a desperate need for stronger glasses or a crash course in animal husbandry - thanks Gregory - Lindsay

Oh, thanks so much, Jan, but I didn't get it in in time ... I always wait until the last minute, lol. I missed Nina's contest, too ... I was going to write both this evening, but they were closed when I got home. I just can't check in here all day, so I miss stuff. Your compliment and smile will be my lovely award - and the best kind! :-) <3
