I Would Not Be a Cow - And Yet

    Why is it so pleasant to think back in time
         ‘specially as we near the end of the line

     Do we treasure our innocence, our youthful naivete
          or unlike Bessie the cow, we know what comes next

     Stupid she stands, flies near her eyes congregate
          I would not be a cow for all the tea in Tibet 

      And yet… Why can’t I just live for today, like all the songs say
          I guess tomorrow’s too gloomy, ergo I run far away
