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
