Baiting The Bull Trap

The yellow cow with no milk
moos loudest, sidles backward
all along along the fence,
tail out, itching for any bull
but the one her farmer keeps.

She’ll find one, too,
always does,and it’s always
a disaster. I think she
sets it up that way on purpose.

Wonder how he’ll like the tickle
of electrified barbed wire?
Seems she does; no wonder she
moos so loud, and has no milk.

I doubt any bull would risk more than one encounter... no matter how enticingly she swishes her tail! LOL

I grew up on a farm... so this one left me ROFL... not all that burger in the butcher's shop comes from steers yanno. *G*

Enjoyed very much! *S*

Oh c'mon! What's a little electric shock between friends?

OK, OK, if not friends then sort of acquaintances; OK, OK, maybe not acquaintances, but if there was time... but I really am in a hurry?

Really; who would notice???
