Callie the Calf, Grows Up

In a small Iowa town, picturesque, as some would put, is a farm so let me continue on a bit, and I'll spin a Holiday yarn Down a long country lane, not far from town, there was a farm, not big, fifty acres and a half on the farm, lived a large animal family, the youngest, was Callie the Calf It was a week before Christmas, Horatio the Horse came in from the yard he unhitched from the sleigh, came into the barn, and handed Callie the Calf a Christmas card The card, from Buddy the Dog and Baily the Cat, friends of hers from the city inside was an invitation, to a party a New Year's party, better dress pretty Christmas came and Christmas went, the snow did lightly fall Callie was getting ready for, the New Years gala ball She spoke with her friends, through the animal vine, to find out about the fare if there was anything, she had to bring, and just who all might be there Baily said," don't bring anything, bring a date, or just yourself Callie was so excited, when she heard, Jackson might be coming, dressed as an Elf Here it is, it's New Years Eve. it is finally party day Horatio Horse, was waiting outside, to take her in the sleigh All grown up for the party, Horatio, gave Callie a Knightly bow and said," you're no longer a baby, You've grown into a Cow" You Go Girl !

Hey, this one is pretty good. It caught my eye, because I had a cat named Callie who died of cancer a few years ago, but she lived to the ripe old age of 18!! Love the ending of your poem. Andrea
