Freedom's Crow
Board fence entraps three Angus cows
who would much rather go
out and about to their content
than hear from freedom's crow.
Corralled within their space so small
constrained by pride-filled squawk
no grass of green, no grounds to graze
so here they gaze and gawk.
"Of what does SHE have to complain?"
crow hears a lowly moo.
Indignant cry spurs raven queen
to do what she can do.
She picks the pin which holds them in,
gives them the needed boost.
So free they run until the sun
invites them home to roost.
Queen Raven waiting on her pole
views "thank yous" on each face.
And when the cows have passed the gate,
she puts the pin in place.
