Zen of Cows. (original) (raw)

ain't they purdy
them momma cows
with their big brown eyes
and long eye lashes

why the very sight of em
makes your heart melt
and you just wanna give em a hug

cows smell
well, like cows
but their milk is sweet
and their whole attitude is
laid back and easy going
relaxed in deep breathing
accepting their lot
don't expect much

they don't get too excited
about much of anything
they mosey
they eat
they flatulate
that's it
that's their job

they don't get caught up in the daily news
or in the pressure of work
they just take what nature gives
and let it go at that

they get criticized
but all they do is eat green grass
so they ARE part of the Green Movement

why, can you imagine a world
without their gentle moos
their slow walkin' ways

ever seen a herd of cows on a hillside
it's enough to take your breath away
now that there is peaceful
Buddha would be proud

we need cows
to give us an example
of how to be happy and content

you would be too
if you could sleep standin' up.
