Said the Heifer to the Ox: “O‘ sorry Ox,
How terrible to work your heavy yoke,
All day to wheel around that grinding spoke!”
She lay lazy in the shade of nearby rocks.
But Ox plowed onwards. Hearing Heifer’s knocks,
And paying no heed to her pitiful smoke,
He laboured, knowing well the dreadful joke
Which soon was to repay her mindless mocks.
And just then came a large procession near,
Garbed in diadems and resplendent frills;
“O‘ Heifer, if only you’d known your lot,
You’d have held your tongue and lived life in fear!“
The priests, dragging Heifer to the high hills,
Offered her to gods whose favors they sought.
(Inspired by Aesop's "The Heifer and the Ox".)
two cows come down a hill;
they’ve come down before;
and again they shall…
unless Noah finds them
wandering off
takes them under his wing
of two by two;
enjoys the milk of she
& the horny glance of he
& the frightened glimpse of she
when she sees the fattening of the bull.
the heifer decides on further examination
not to take the hill
like Jack & Jill
because
on their last encounter
a stick figure was seen on the horizon;
could be he
and she knows where that leads.

To think I'm five years older than US president
Joe Biden, I think he is senile, but he is also corrupt like so many senators are
The Jews who lived in America knew of Western man, the obsession with status, a big house, and money, making them easy to corrupt.
The Jews, those who live in the USA, don't feel patriotic towards America for them; their heart is Israel, where goys are not welcome.
The Jews are a people with high EQ, but they lack empathy for others and let unbecoming greed take over their strange reasoning.
The Jews, due to their fatal flaws like ancient hatred when the irate behavior has gone too
far, be caught up and become victims of violence
The Jews, thus, castigated, will measly offer their services be fixers for the powerful and win favors and, in this manner, win power once again.
Up in the front
They fight and gather
Yip yapping
'Bout the chickens dirty feathers
If you come round back
You can see the behind
But even if facts were presented
They would never find
...fault
Every new member
Tries to locate their spot
But the heifers protest
'Bout what they ain't got
Sun shinning brightly
Pond calling for cool rest
The mature ones are in
While heifers decide the best

Not a heifer's figure
makes a bull calf eager.
Volodymyr Knyr

That
Cow
Heifer
Ignorant
Won't care for her calf
She ignored baby when was born
Refused to bathe or nurse it, walks off with it crying
My daughter is now bottle feeding calf on top of other responsibilities
