How cottage cheese was created

The cow took a chance, pirouetted and pranced
to the ancient tune..
Her body sagged and one foot snagged and she
tripped on the tip of the moon..
Farmers found her at the trough.
Dogs danced in circles,
Roosters meowed.
Crows began cawing at quarter to five.
The locals were astounded the  cow had survived..
The people now swear she has special powers.
A farmer sells her cottage cheese as most 
her milk has soured.
