Notes About The Poem

The Beatnik Cow

The cow waltzes around the lamp post three times

MOOOO!

Cow’s milk
Mother’s milk
The milk of human kindness

Why did you not love me mother?
Why did you demean me father?
Why does dusk’s fading aura not bid me good night?

The cow tangos around the lamp post four times

and weeps

Belle Robert Gorelick September 19, 2023 at 7:12 PM I'm afraid my sense of humor is a bit too dry, it's meant to be a satire. Pleased you appreciated it nevertheless. Robert

Speaks Volumes September 15, 2023 at 2:04 PM I am thinking, I will be back later to comment. :) OK I am back. I gave it copious amounts of thought and.. I like it. Robert Gorelick September 19, 2023 at 7:14 PM Thank you, Wendy, I wrote it as a spoof, as a straight poem its a bit ridiculous! I was going to be a stand up, but now I've changed my mind. Robert
