An Audience of Cows...

An Audience of Cows...

I saw some cows leaning on the back fence
Just mooing and chewing their cud
I looked askance at them big brown eyes
And knew they were slinging some mud

I could tell by the way that they stared
I was the subject they mentioned
My appetite for their gossip
Made me the bone of contention

So I danced a little as I passed them
I spoke to them all by name
They rolled their eyes and let their tongues hang out
And went back to the mud-slinging game

"So, sister of mine, of the barn
How did he do last night?
He was very attentive, my dear
I was satisfied, quite"

"Well, I've heard that he lasts a while
I was wondering how did he do?"
I shook my hands that were swinging
Made a finger that pointed at you

As I sasshayed down the road
They said; "Hey, his fingers are wriggling!"
I showed them my hands, fingers all tight
And I heard the moos turn to giggling

If I fail to read anything else before the new year, this will suffice.

Thought it great!,,,,, love Cows.

I like cows;
cows seem to like Me,
maybe we ought to get together sometime;
chew the cud,
talk udders--
YEAH,
that'd be good,

we could crap on daisies
in the meadow-
watch them grow-
piss in streams
add a liddle-- YELLLOOOWWW,
eat only the greenest grass
yeah,
that'd be good,

I just need to learn to mooo.

a scene that I saw in a commercial on T.V. The cows were all standing leaning against a wood rail fence, switching their tails and looking very contented. They were watching the cars go by and I think that the commercial had something to do with California cheese. Contented cows? Anyway, a friend of mine had said something recently, about a group of girls that he knows and they are big gossips. He knows that they have talked about him because of one the group has a crush on him and his sister knows them. He called them cows and professes not to like them, although he has dated the one who has the crush. I thought that I would have a little fun with the notion. Glad you enjoyed. ~ Geezer.

and there was also the intimation that the man is a farmhand that sometimes milks the cows by hand. Sometimes the cow's udders get sore from the machines and they have to be milked by hand.

I could not tell at the end, seemed to me you were giving the international sign language to the cows to "go jerk-off". I was a bit confused at the end, it seems you gave them "the finger" ,or what were you
jiggling?
This is a clever poem, with very specific with details throughout. i would include the same in the finale... and by all means don't tell me in the comments...tell me in the poem!

to make it a bit clearer. I pointed the finger at the cow like you would if you wanted someone to know that it was YOU, I was thinking of. Like "Hey baby". Get it now?
