Short Dairy Cow Poems

Two dogs named "Bow Wow" and "Pow Wow"
Chased after a young dairy cow
Her name was, "Silk"
But gave no milk
'til a Longhorn tickled a sow...

Hillbillies got a dairy cow and trained it up right
It mooed and bellowed all through the first night
Drank some moonshine and did a crazy petootsie dance.
So silly and funny, the fireflies flitted and flew as if in a trance....

green snake poked his head out of the bathtub drain
singing Christmas carols off key, singing a loud refrain
i saw a turtle when Cobra slithered down and away
bear stuck his paw through at the end of the day
i am in no hurry to take a warm relaxing bath now
imagining seeing an inverted muddy hoof of dairy cow...

Irritated Steven wrote his anger triggers down.
His therapist read them, trying not to frown.
He asked his client to number them now
Number 106 was a fat dairy cow.

Number 214 was bird booby that was blue.
All together there were a thousand and two.
Everything made him mad – paper clips even.
Therapist knew he had a lifetime of work with this guy Steven....

    Porky Pig and Dairy Cow-Moon
        did up X-mas at the local saloon

     Where Olive Oil and Pepe le pew
        had already downed more than a few

     Porky Pig and Cow-Moon
        joined in by singing a tune... 

    But when they courted disaster
        by all getting plastered  

     They were tossed out on their keisters
        ~ and didn’t get sober ‘til almost Easter

Little orphaned dairy cow
White and black spots
Fed with a bottle, lovingly

Winter's hard freeze
Took you away
The rain's muddy puddle
Frooze you solid
With no mama to guide you away from the danger.


For the orphans in Haiti, and USA and every where,
May God bless you with loving parents...Prayers!!

True story--happened to my sister's calf-so sad.

Go to www.myturnnow.org and see children right here in the usa that need loving parents....

It was a typical Kansas windy windy windy windy day
We had been warned, but the idea had swiftly gone away
For we had never lived in this flat sunflowered state before 
So we did not know the wind could blow us out the door.

First our clothes all blew off the line and over the treetop.
We chased them for miles, until we simply had to stop.
Our dog blew by, and so did our cat and our dairy cow.
Kansas winds are something to watch, they are a real wow....

You ask her she said, giving me a bit of a poke.
I don’t even know her name I said to this brazen folk.
She might not even know the stranger said to me.
She is not red Angus, I said, I think she might be dairy.

The cow was lounging on a bench painted Iowa barn red.
She gave me a look that I could not decipher in my head.
A huge yawn came out of her mouth, and she flicked away a bee.
You are right, she said, I am bovine, a cow, female and truly dairy....

Mrs. Fallicker 
    a Gurnsey dairy cow 
chewing her gum cud, 
    laughing 
moo laughs 
    about Bobbi 
the first child in our class 
    to eat paste. 

I walk amongst them 
    with my eager thoughts 
tracing J's in dust jackets 
     with my pinky finger 
eating letters, 
     A's like dry cheerios. 

The gloss 
     of library book pages 
thick with the musky smell of 
     forest floor 
               moss. 

This school is foreign....

You might be from a small midwestern town
If you know what husking corn means
You might be from Iowa
If your town was full of relatives

You might be from Nebraska
If you have heard the term huskers
You might be from Illinois
If you know a dairy cow from other cows

You might be from a small midwestern town
If your town had a square
You might be from a small town in the Midwest
If you collect money when someone dies
And give it all to the grieving...
