A Flying Cow Poem by David Harris

A Flying Cow

Rating: 3.1


Millie Moo Cow was grazing
in a field on day
when her fairy godmother
came to pay a visit to her.
Millie you are a good old cow
and your days are not yet through.
If I had wish for you
what would that wish be fore?
Millie chewed at her cud
and thought for a bit.
I would like a pair of wings
so I could fly like the birds
and then I could find the green fields
with all the tenders shoots to graze upon.
The fairy godmother waved her wand
and on Millie, two beautiful wings grew.
Millie flapped her new wings
and into the sky, she flew.
As she, few around she caused quite a stir.
Looking down she remembered
all those who had tormented her.
Now she had wings she could get her revenge.
She dived and did a somersault
and then began her bombing run
laying on them cow pats big and round.
People ran for cover as Millie flew on by.
Tiring of her games in a green field, she landed.
Her fairy godmother wasn’t pleased.
You were only supposed to look for green fields
not go bombarding people with your poo.
For your bad behaviour,
I’m taking your wings away from you.
She waved her magic wand again
and Millie’s wings were gone.
The moral of this story is
when they say do unto others as they do unto you.
You will be punished
so go do it first.

Gorgeous story David. Such a hoot! Your Millie Moo Cow is one cool dude and your final line - perfectly placed. This would make a fabulous children's picture book - including the poo! They'd love it. And so do I! Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Ha, I loved this imaginary foray into a world of flying cows and -oh my goodness- flying cow patties! Love the moral ending to your fable. (smile)
