When the Storms Came
When the storms came it was catastrophic
They came with cattle bashing hammers
Winds whipped up in ferocious tornado action
They came with the giant cyclops on their backs
Angry because of the extra visual acuity missing
They were wielding axes too to slaughter more cows
Revenge is sweet for one eyed beasts
No milk for you, you filthy animals
No hamburgers on a toasted bun
You meat eating savages with no regard for life
Human or otherwise. Shame on you.
Hold the onions and fries while I cry
Cows don't live inside because they hate you
Invisible forces blew through shuttered windows
When the winds came in it was with a vengeance
But there were no cattle inside
They had already died
Open ranges can be dangerous for grass eating critters
Weeks later new cattle arrived on the prairie
When the flying saucers came from outer space
It was worse than anything imaginable on Earth
Invisible forces drew each cow up one by one
In a line for the sake of efficiency
What happened next we can not say
But we began to eat hot dogs (the ones without the tails)
Do aliens really like cows more than people?
We wonder if we all taste like chicken to them
