Analysis of this one is just for fun, entitled "My Cow"
My cow chews the flowers in the field,
the fence, the posts, and onion peels,
rocks and trees, and gopher holes,
other cows, the horses and their foals,
the tractor, hay loft, and a plow,
fourteen piglets and a sow!
My cow moo's at the sun, moo's at the sky,
even a car that's just passing by,
the neighbors, a dog, our red and white house,
my cow even moo's at a tiny field mouse,
the oak tree, elm, apple, and pine,
the clothes a-flappin on the line.
Chewing and mooing while the days shinning bright,
thank goodness my cow sleeps soundly at night!
