do cows like mints?

they do
and sheep possess concentration levels
that allow them to watch television
which is extraordinary
and so is broccoli 

i like polo mints
my daughter calls them doughnut mints
her favourite book is called 'stop that cow'
which involves a 357 mag with an 8-inch barrel

a pig in a forty-nine dollar wig 
the agitated cow asks, "you wouldn't happen to have
a pack of cigarettes." 
the guinea hog replies, "i don't smoke."
"i didn't think so." 

i met my best friend in a cafe
he told me statistics mean nothing

Loved this whimsical poem. First line was delightful and right away answered the question the title asks then sends us into a childlike book meant for adults. Also love the end. A fave. Fun! Should be a POTD! Still smiling!
