Jan Allison Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Mad Cow

In France a cow's called a vache
A crass bovine who's moo is so brash
Some are infected by mad cow disease
They give sour milk, making rancid cheese
I know what will be a cow's fate
One day soon she'll be on my plate
I will not miss its whiney mooing
Or cow pats in fields from its poohing

Inspired by but not for Animal Nonsense Contest

Geoffrey Brewer September 17, 2017 at 7:29 AM Nice verse but just to give a more tolerant view of these placid creatures: How now brown cow What a blessing on the world art thou A miracle of God's construction Four stomachs working in mass production Jan Allison September 17, 2017 at 9:15 AM You are right Geoffrey they do have many uses and i wouldn't be able to have my cuppa or a nice steak without them:-) hugs jan xx

Russell Sivey August 19, 2017 at 1:14 AM This is a very hilarious write my friend Jan! You have surely tickled my funny bone with this ingenious poem! Personally I like cows, they get a bad wrap with things. You just have to know how to handle them, and how to get to know them, they really are great animals! But the one thing I love about them...I love steak! Give me the Filet please! Awesome Work!! Jan Allison August 19, 2017 at 3:17 AM Oh I have never been fond of cows I don't like them except on my plate lol:-) hugs jan xx

Judy Ball August 18, 2017 at 5:02 PM Too Cute Jan. I like cows myself. They make great pets. But then I've been told I will make a pet out of just about anything. lol Loved this. It really put a smile on my face. Love the pic. God Bless, JB Jan Allison August 18, 2017 at 5:08 PM I had a pet goat as a teenager but a not fond of cows lol:-) hugs jan xx

Ricky Sholar August 18, 2017 at 4:56 PM This would fit that contest perfectly. I was kicked by a mad cow one time and my boss got a broken leg by a cow. Never saw one with mad cow disease. Dodging cow pies was always a lot of fun. I found your poem very enjoyable and very humorous. Write On. Ricky Sholar Jan Allison August 18, 2017 at 5:00 PM Cheers Ricky I was inspired by the contest theme but have written a second poem for the contest. I'm delighted you liked this one the only cow I like is on my dinner plate lol:-) hugs jan xx
