The Milky Way
The Milky Way is our way of life
We adore the farmer but hate his wife
She has long arms and milky skin
When the farmer pulls on our teats she thinks it’s a sin
He pulls in such a way it takes out breath away
He knows how to delight us in all sorts of ways
It’s sort of a shock for her to see
That he drives us so crazy that we bend at the knees
She gets so disgusted that she says,
“They would all look better with their tongues fillet!”
She even has their children singing, “Father Put the Cows Away”
His wife keeps praying someday we’ll get so thin
That our milk will taste funny, and he’ll switch to bees and honey
She’s even so jealous that when he takes us out –
To pasture, she remarks, “You even herd the one’s you love!”
We grew so tired of her petty views; we came up with a plot –
Get even, “Mooder,” we yelled alot
We waited for her to come into the dairy –
She did, all dressed-up like a wicked fairy
As she came near we kicked a bucket, boy did it sail
It landed, full of milk, on her head,
And we all yelled, “Hey, lady, you’re looking a little pail!”
We then added insult to injury by giving her a shot of methane gas
She hauled out of the barn, into a pile of cow dung, right on her ass!
