Notes About The Poem

As most of you know, our daughter, Phyllis has had to get custody of her step grandson..They have just had a two year old heifer to give birth to a calf and she would not take care of it nor feed it..I asked her had it been eating mushrooms out in the pasture..Sara

Heifer

.

That 
Cow 
Heifer
Ignorant
Won't care for her calf
She ignored baby when was born
Refused to bathe or nurse it, walks off with it crying
My daughter is now bottle feeding calf on top of other responsibilities

Conservationists have had similar problems with whooping cranes. Mothers lay the eggs and then leave them irresponsibly. That's why that species is endangered and nearly extinct. 8+5=13, you have fifteen syllables in your seventh line which is two too many. Everything else looks good.
