Once I told you of a crazed mother cow
Mistaken often, prowess of the bull
Compared to the one whom nurs’d the calf full
Trepidly I’d cross her path even now
and take the life of the ox who doth plough
who to whom the farmer is most helpful
and never the one who loved a handful
the calf a consequence to disavow
Oh crazy cow now I am forced to see
After many of your babes ripped away
by rancher, wolves, and tricky coyote
you refused our bribe and payment of hay
to be the mother you needed to be
