Tom had a cow with lovely calf
Calf was drinking milk only half
Tom used to milk daily
Calf felt empty belly
She kicked Tom's face as her staff.

A beautiful limerick! Man is so thoughtless! He draws out even the calf's rightful share of milk! So this retaliation of the calf is justifiable!

I entirely agree with Geetha Jayakumar and many other readers who have commented here that the calf's reaction was justified, as s/he was being deprived of her/his legitimate right of mother's milk. A wonderful limerick that I've enjoyed reading!

The calf normally has a habit of suckling now and then even after its belly is full...it is the sport of any cub other than the cow-calf...even human babies up to three years do this...milk man has a reason... the calf by suckling a little helps him to milk easily... though this looks selfish this is better than eating beef and veal....good limerick...thank you
