Footles on the Farm

The Horse
   says Neigh
   eats Hay

The Cow
   builds mass
   eats grass

The Pig
   eats slop
   won't stop

The Sheep
   wool sleeves
   eats leaves

The Chicken
   his feed
   is seed

The Goat
   strange clan
   eats can

I now award you, the poet, and this footle, the poem, the all-time GOAT trophy --- an emptied jumbo can of Purina Cat Chow Tuna! Congratulations, David... Seriously, I enjoyed this footle a lot. Really well-done. :) gw
