All of the cows
are smarter than us,
preachers and prophets
are these bovine heirs.
Mooing mute mayhem
from their pulpits of excrement.

All the cows
are knowledge unbound,
a microcosm of man,
the vacant eyed consumer
producing  only bile fluids
same ingredients
the simian  digest:
talk show host and soap opera queen.  

The fountain of life attained
from a leak sprung tap,
still they hesitate
until their benevolent cannibal gods leave.  
The panic and the poison,
paranoia in their eyes.

All of the cows
are smarter than us,
When F&M descends
They would immunise
Not sentence themselves to the death camps.  

All of the cows
are smarter than us
coated in dirt, littered with flies
how sweet their sacrifice stewing
oven  juice. How then that these
intellectual icons  never foresee the abattoir?

all the while I was reading this I was thinking...'until they have mad-cow disease' and then you brought foot and mouth into the piece...so maybe they've already gone mad.

the last statement, though, certainly offers food for thought

MOO MOO back Serenity, oh deep..lol you kidder. Thanks for your reply and for noting the sarcasm.


Decaflame, I am blushing red.... you are far too kind.

Vas, you noticed the Foot and mouth reference. Just to clarify Ireland is now safe to enter we just changed the date of our St Patrick's parade to keep out all the other countries lol kidding of course.

Very nicely said
forget the sheep analogy
let it be bovine instead
much better eating

Please know where the inspiration lies
should you see a poat called
"Slaghter Houee Jive"

I found this very interesting and almost funny despite the sadness.  Poor generous cows, but of course you are kidding about their intelligence.  Good job.  Joyce

it is always a pleasure to hear from death
and live to tell the tale

Vas, thank you for your kind comments
