If I were a cow
And you were egret
We would be the best of pals
I'm sure we could

I would give you a ride
Upon my back
Providing you opportunity
For some tasty snacks
And you in turn
Would be doing
A very kind favor for me
By eliminating all those
Pesky bugs
That are forever bothering me

This would be a very mutual
Friendship between you and me
Now
Don't you tend
To agree?

I should say so! This is cute! I think it would make a great children's storybook. I can even imagine the pictures that would go with it!

If all relationships were this mutually beneficial, well...there wouldn't be so much sad poetry.  Made me laugh.

"If all relationships were this mutually beneficial, well...there wouldn't be so much sad poetry." that is so true.. and Denise will you illustrate it for me? but then again I see it illustrated every day when I pass the cattle down the road from me. Even those flies have a purpose those poor Egrets would go hunger if it weren't for them I think. Thanks for all your comments.
