Good evening Ladies
May I say, I am honored and privileged
As this is the first ever time
I have read in front of a woman’s only group
And a fine group of bovine beauties you are
I truly hope you have enjoyed dinner
The poetry portion of your evening is about to begin
First I wish to thank Betsy for inviting me
She mooooed me over from day one
I must also offer my sincere apologies
If I have eaten any of your relatives
A simple but tasty misunderstanding at beast, ops best
This evening’s poetry reading will have background music
Lyrcial Jazz music is like the spice to my gourmet poetry
Richard here is on Sax, and Dave will play the guitar
So feel free to sit or stand, rain or shine
Graze upon this artistic feast of cultural poetry
I shall recite four movements here, thus to allow you
Breaks for your own movements so to speak
I wish you an udderly fantastic evening
This piece is called “Chapter and Verse”
Part 1)
Borrowed words
Overdue loans
On faded words
Tears melting ink
Wisdom's die
Collection time
Bankrupt soul
With no words to share
Moooooo mooooooo Mooooooo
Mooo Mooooooo Mooooooo Moooooo
Cow bells jingle
More Moooos moooo moooooo
You gals are sooooo Mooovarlous
Now for Part 2)
Overdue books
Wine splashes the pages
Of my mind
Melancholy whispers to me
Here, here
The past sings me a song
Withered books
Our collective memories
Buried in the pages of history
Moooooo mooooooo Mooooooo
Mooo Mooooooo Mooooooo Moooooo
Cow bells jingle
More Moooos moooo moooooos
Oh My God really stop it
You Gals are udderly amazing
Thank you so much
I really appreciate your Cowcil
On to Part 3 Ladies
Sad Chapters
I danced
I drank
Love and wine
Penelope Sosa
Stole heart and mind
Debts paid
Her beauty refined
Lonely betrayal
I dine on sad chapters
Moooooo mooooooo Mooooooo
Mooo Mooooooo Mooooooo Moooooo
Cow bells jingle
More Moooos moooo moooooos
You gals really are overdoing it
However I do have a part 4, you are such a great audience
For fans like you, I am willing to milk this poem to the end
The last Verse
Mathematical potions
Equations that dream
A soft kiss lade upon my sleeping heart
Is it you? Is it you that lightens my soul?
Spread your wings for me
I shall smell the sweet scent
Of your poetic juices
As we lay entwined
Inside the last verse
Standing Mooooooooovations
Moooooo mooooooo Mooooooo
Mooo Mooooooo Mooooooo Moooooo
Cow bells jingle
More Moooos moooo moooooos
Well I must thank you dearly
I confess I was somewhat Cowardly to perform
However you gals where just great
I will be signing autographs back at the barn!!!!!!
