Bessie the Cow's New Year Message

   Do the crickets in the trees
     welcome a breeze
   Can a frog on a lily pad
     ever be sad

   Would a fish choose to swim
     if it were molasses he was in
   Does a monkey grin 
     when he thinks of vice & sin

   Should a zebra without stripes
     just give up on life
   And what about a female baboon
     Does she bleed if pecked by a loon

   Thought you might like to 'ruminate' on all of these
     While I bring up dinner - straw and day-old cheese...
