Cow Poetry

I used to have this Far Side cartoon, called "Cow Poetry," taped to my mirror. I grew up with a father in whose heart cows held a hallowed place. (He was raised on a small scale dairy farm). I also wrote terrible poetry as a teenager (I have since told Beulah that every teenager has to go through a phase of writing maudlin poems) and can't help remberering how self-important I felt writing my little thoughts. This picture makes me laugh at myself.
