Fiddle For a Riddle

A cow flew down from out of town Said, I'll tell you a riddle if you'll play me your fiddle I struck up a lively number but the cow fell into a deep slumber Yet that riddle I was dying to hear so I pulled out my very best spear I only planned to give Bessie a light poke Really, I swear to you, and I never joke -- But instead of blubber, my spear struck udder You know how much milk's in a bovine nursing mother?

Squeal on, Caren. btw: Your squeal was the only part of the animal not canned for food in the Chicago Stock Yards of 100 years ago. ~ Upton Sinclair

Yes, I hate when that happens too, almost as much as when pigeons poop on your car (or your head). lol. Thanks, David. Peace, Gershon
