do not believe his windbaggery

His windbaggery made me laugh
Tales as tall as a long giraffe
I did not believe his lies by half
Deceptive as a spotted calf

Fibrous Cord

My fibrous cord who 
attach the muscles of 
the calf to the 
heel bone are 
sometimes as sharp as 
a sharp knife.

Fate

The soft zephyr hums the carefree spirit of youth. A calf ruminates under the sun's gentle rays. Tomorrow, the slaughterhouse.

Marlboro Man

Rowdy came up over the hill like a vision.
I knew he was still chasing the errant calf
Calf bawled as lasso whipped through the air
Marlboro man I thought

Take It Away

you invite me
for a cup of milk in your hut
I am not a puppy
a calf I am not
this cup you give me
take it away
give it to Judas Iscariot
or your old cat

Black Belt Karate On a Strict Wife

Black belt karate on a strict lovely wife
Is very important in a family's life.
Kids are not stealing any sweet stuff,
Obedient husband as quiet, as a calf.

Laced With Faith

A pilgrim's shoes are laced with faith
    if soled with doubt, nails fall out

  The journey requires not stick, but staff
    his offering ~ a tender calf

Ingrates

There once was a mother giraffe, 
Snuck in for a snack with her calf; 
“The service is slow,
The food’s just so-so, 
We’ll leave leaves as tip, for a laugh!”

Husbandry

C*nt is the oldest word
the only word
for female genitalia 
it also means cow

Every farmer knows
the cow means more
than an unborn calf

Hoping For Sound of a Calf

Their horses seemed to understand the need for silence
They stood still as the cowhands searched the terrain
Hoping the sound of the lost calf would come in the wind

Footprints

Sasquatch draws crowds with belly laughs.
A show of a giant calf.
     The ink caught a prize.
     His feet a great size.
Feast on the beast’s autograph.

Camels New Calf

The camel showed her new calf to a few
calf got scared and friends faces looked like glue
they weren't mad
they just declared 
the new calfs a spitting image of you!

calf selfie

Calf takes his nap around three, come on by.
He likes having a selfie, though I know not why.
So, I took a close up, and saw his nostril hair.
Calf did not like it, but I did not care.

A Different Kind of Hunger

too much whipped cream
on the half-calf latte of over indulgence
a little more as the cup empties
& we try to fill the void
then your whole mouth just tastes like dairy
& you want to throw up

Dromedary Affair

There once was a camel calf in the zoo
The adults had one hump; it had two
The female acted sly,
The male wondered why,
The reason, I knew and Darwin did to, do you?

Baby Calf Bathes In a Pail

Baby calf takes his bath in the pail no matter what
Nearly taking off his chin in an “upper cut”
Because his face is too large, and his petootsie is too
I can hear him trying to get out, he has a loud moo.

Church Verger Wo Was a Purger

Church Verger Wo Was a Purger

Once upon a time there was church verger,
Who had been an encourager and an urger;
With his staff,
Would hit calf,
And of all of our sins appeared to be purger.

Betty's Little Calf

Betty had a little calf,
It was white and brown,
Everywhere that Betty went
It followed her around.
She fed it twice every day
With a bucket full of chaff,
The way Daisy munched it
Made young Betty laugh.

A Favorite In Dublin Town

Scottish Highland calf was a favorite in Dublin Town.
We loved his temperament, he was up, never down.
He bathed in roses, daisies, and autumn leaves, so brown.
King of kindness was his title, given along with a crown.
