Chased By Cows Poem by Phil Soar
Chased By Cows
Chased by cows across a field
Was not what I planned to do,
I shouted at them many times
But all they said was “Moo”
Their speed was quite astonishing
The ground beneath me quaked
I trod in many piles of muck
The sun had almost baked
And as I sped across that field
The cows began to gain
Thoughts of death and Sirloin steak
Coursing through my brain
I made it with a yard to spare
And stood behind a gate
With Images of steak and chips
Sitting on my plate
The cows went back to grazing
Whilst I gasped for my breath
The dogs just sat there mystified
And laughed themselves to death

This is a great poem, Phil. This, I guess is written from experience. You've written this poem, on a serious subject, and flavoured it with humour. Having kept cattle myself I know that this type of situation can be extremely dangerous. Cattle sometimes perceive strange dogs and/or humans as a threat, particularly if there are youmg calves with them. Often a calf will find a hiding place to rest, you may not see it but it's mother will be aware of where the calf is. If a person or a dog walks between the calf and it's mother the cow will think the calf is under threat and rush to protect it.
