Walking The Cow

Tried to remember but my feelings get old for sure
Tried to recall but it's gone
Lucky stars in your eyes
I'm walking the cow
I really don't know how i came here
I really don't know why i'm staying here
I'm walking the cow
Tried to point my finger but the wind keeps blowin' me around
In circles, in circles
Lucky stars in your eyes
I'm walking the cow
I really don't know what i have to fear
I really don't know why i have to care
I'm walking the cow
Lucky stars in your eyes...

There once was a drunk from Dover
who fell asleep in the clover.
he woke up and said,
what's this on my head
The cows had splattered him all over.

Once a man went into a forest to sell his cows
There was no one to buy except a pair of doves,
The doves asked the man: ' How much? '
Their question gave him an emotional touch.
He said that he would not sell the cows' hoofs.

There was an Old Man who said, 'How
Shall I flee from that horrible cow?
I will sit on this stile,
And continue to smile,
Which may soften the heart of that cow.'

Hyperboles and Such

A bubble floats,
Will pass on by,
The cows and goats
Begin to cry.
The balloon falls dead.
The whip cracks dawn.
The frog prince hopes.
The jungle kings yawn.
Until then, the till now plows.
And earth now weeps for goats and cows.

Reality Check

‘Hey Diddle Diddle,
The cat and the fiddle,
The cow jumped over the moon...’

So what did Neil Armstrong find?
When he walked on the moon?
Cow bones! Asphyxiation! No oxygen!

The cow died!
News flash!
A discovery of lunar proportions!

What you never heard?
Must be...?
Another conspiracy theory...

New Towns

Concrete fuzziwigs,
Landmarks for the daft,
Melancholy moo cows,
Ducks before and aft,

Came the mighty motorway,
Came the common car,
Open University,
Cantilevered bra.

McDonalds in defiance
Of every well-known fact,
CCTV just in case
Some pensioner gets whacked.

Multi-storey parking lots,
Chunky-tyred jeeps,
Pavement-spanning pushchairs,
Manic mobile bleeps.
