The Cow Nobel Prize Mystery

THE COW NOBEL PRIZE MYSTERY

How come more cows
Don’t win Nobel prizes
And trophies of different sizes
With questions of why s and how s ?

It’s not the size of their feet
Nor their horns nor their udder
Nor  the lack of an intellectual rudder
Which makes them easy to beat

No  -  they’re just much too lazy.
It’s far easier to cow-walk
Than to argue and cross-talk
In a meadow hot and hazy.

So, in Nobels they’re always last;
But if these cleft-foot guys wise-up
They’d soon be picking a prize up
And the size of their prize would be vast.
