Write a Story Poem by Joanna Daniel

~~~

Betsy, the sweet girl, was such a beauty Never slack on milk, she did her duty Pouring out her supply, like a fountain Feeding on the rye across the mountain She raised sweet, soft eyes to prove her gentle Always so much love wasn’t accidental With a soul, good and warm, she’s so friendly Yet, her master told her she’s too spindly Despite her hunger, she just wouldn’t gain weight She worried about things like a soul mate Her thoughts took her to the fall, and the hay When the Blue Ridge Mountains switch to deep gray Thoughts of gold bales left her stomach starving Though that hay could’ve made a wood carving So dry and stale, it couldn’t have been tasty Still, she sprinted to the stall, quite hasty After eating her fair share, farmer said “look at Betsy, she’s fat as that pig, Ned” At last the cow and the pig were happy Even though their tale is slightly sappy!
