She's Abusive and That's Conclusive

There was a fussy bovine named Flossy who was snooty and always so bossy her udders would droop when she took a poop She bellowed until her eyes got glossy Flossy had teeth like a barracuda Her biting habit just made her ruder She's not very sharp She spit when she'd harp So I called a few friends and we shewed her Then she threatened to have me arrested Thought she'd beaten me and had me bested Knocked her on her duff She wasn't so tough Alas, she kept right on and protested I saw her on the street the other day Her monstrous butt sat on a bale of hay Stuck her tongue at me Mooed, "Hello, ducky" She trotted off when I aimed pepper spray What a chunky hippo she has become I think Flossy secretly sucks her thumb Waddles when walking Ranting and squawking To senility, Flossy has succumb Bovine creatures can be quite abusive When they should be a closet reclusive The more that they speak The more that they reek My findings are all justly conclusive

This was fun and crazy at the same time. When you knocked her on her butt all I could think of was ground beef. :) Really clever Lin. A nice chuckle for the afternoon work hours.

I'm not sure you'd want ground beef from that old cow, Chris. I'm happy to have brought you chuckles. Thanks!
