Jan Allison Poet Couplet

Notes About The Poem

You Look Udderly Amazing

Pretty Bessie the cow was on the pull -
she had her sights set on Billy the bull

To attract the attention of this young man
Bessie the cow came up with a cunning plan

She had plastic surgery to enhance the way she looked
When he saw the transformation that young bull was hooked!

Bessie the cow also had some body piercing done
But when it came to milking this wasn’t so much fun!

Billy admired her whilst he was grazing
Bessie’s body now looked ‘udderly amazing’

Soon Billy and Bessie fell head over heels
They are always together in the farmer’s fields

Many many thanks to Mama Bear for sending me the two pictures which inspired this poem

Dean Wood June 12, 2017 at 3:22 PM Thoroughly enjoyed it Jan! We need a little more "Light Poetry" on the Soup I think! - Dean Jan Allison June 12, 2017 at 3:33 PM I try and bring a little humour with as many poems as I can Dean:-) hugs Jan xx

Viv Wigley October 14, 2016 at 11:18 PM Dairy funny, Jan. Viv x Jan Allison October 15, 2016 at 1:07 AM ha ha ha - there is no bull from you Mr Viv:-) hugs Jan xx

Michelle Mac Donald October 13, 2016 at 1:59 PM Thanks for the smiles, Jan! :) This poem is a hoot, and the illustrations fit it to a T. I doubt that "Pretty Bessie" would wish to trade off "Billy the Bull, for Freddie the steer". Hugs to you!! Mikki Jan Allison October 13, 2016 at 2:46 PM The pictures were the inspiration for the poem:-) there is a poet called mama bear who sends me pictures every day to inspire me to write - the funniest pics I save for future poems but sometimes the poems just beg to be written there and then and this was one of the results:-) hugs Jan xx

Jean Murray October 12, 2016 at 2:40 PM This reminds me of Freddie The Bull Jan. After leaping over a barbed wire fence to meet his "Pretty Bessie", she said..."You must be Freddie The Bull?" He replied..."Just call me Freddie." Jan Allison October 13, 2016 at 8:36 AM Phew I thought there was a poem on a similar theme:-) hugs Jan xx Jean Murray October 13, 2016 at 5:43 AM I never wrote about Freddie Jan. It was just a joke I heard mant moons ago. Jan Allison October 12, 2016 at 3:00 PM Can you soup mail me the poem you mean Jean I have just google 'freddie the bull' and can't find it:-) hugs jan xx Jan Allison October 12, 2016 at 2:52 PM Oh I will read it Jean I'm not familiar with it I just wrote the poem based on the 2 pics Mama bear sent me:-) hugs Jan xx

Sherri Whiteford October 11, 2016 at 10:38 PM WOW!! When I see anyone especially a real live woman writing funny stuff like this, it simply amazes me.

Abdullah Alhemaidy October 11, 2016 at 5:35 PM Remind me with the famous French poet, La Fontaine (not sure about the spelling). It's Excellent! I have tried to give up poetry several times. But.., because of poets like you, I do not think so. You made my day :) Best regards. Jan Allison October 11, 2016 at 5:43 PM Thank you for the lovely comment Abdullah - let me say your comment has made MY day thank you so much. I am stunned at how popular this little poem has been - seems there is always room for a poem to make people smile and I can write humour at the drop of a hat no matter what is happening in my own life:-) hugs jan xx

CayCay Godwin October 11, 2016 at 2:40 PM So today a cow is a cow, right? I knew I could count on you, who I've been following around on sad one-liner pages, to provide humorous relief (I can't read anymore today.) Your poem is, as usual, well-crafted with such an enjoyable, flowing rhyme scheme and, need I say, great content. Your steer - ed my emotions in the right direction. Love ... CayCay Jan Allison October 11, 2016 at 3:13 PM Thanks so much CayCay:-) hugs Jan xx
