This quiet cow with steady gaze
enjoys her calm and peaceful days;
she breathes, and strolls, and eats and then
she breathes, and strolls and eats again.
She seems to be without a care
and aimless, like cows everywhere
but she, like others of her ilk,
is very busy making milk.

Having grown up, closely and personally, with the family milk cows, I truly appreciate Ms. Brisson's poem. It is cute, clever, funny, and accurate. And, of course, it rhymes, which makes it easy to memorize, quotable, and long-lasting. Thank you Pat, for showing the way.
