An Analogy
An Analogy
By Elton Camp
The cowiger in the world’s on the prowl
If you see him, you better give out a howl
A tiger and a cow fell so madly in love
Misuse of their child they didn’t think of
His relatives treat the cowiger very wrong
And say in neither world does he belong
The tigers tell him he’s too much like a cow
While the cows, such a combination disallow
With neither group is he allowed to fit in
Both seem to think his existence is a sin
The cowiger, great resentment does feel
With such prejudice, there’s no way to deal
This has made him angry and his life to hate
And will pounce on any who smirk or bait
If he comes near, here’s what’s best to do
Back off if he growls or if he says, “Moo”
He may lash out at those who bigotry show
He’s tired of hearing it wherever he does go
