The bell



One day a highlander cow
 wandered around in the field
 where she graze and graze and graze
 as far as she was capable

 Around her neck she wore a bell
 it was pulling real tight
 she barely was able to breathe
 the bell stood straight across

 The cows head felt stuffy
 she really could use some help
 to get rid of that tighdie feeling
 but the question was how

 She saw a blackbird and moo at it
 please bird can you help
 cause this thing around my neck
  is choking me to death

 The blackbird saw in the distance
 the farmer in the field
 it gripped itself at the clapper
 and gave it some good swing

 The farmer heard the commotion
 quickly he went on his way
 and as he came closer
 he saw what was the deal

 The blackbird left as fast as he could
 the scenery he was into
 before the farmer did arrive
 he landed on the fencing

 The farmer took his knife
 and setted the highlander free
 the cow was quite releaved
 and with a sigh a f*rt released

2023: In a world full of chaos, creativity is one of the helping things to keep yourself sane. ******************************** 2014: A good head and a good heart are always a formidable combination. But when you add to that a literate tongue or pen than you have something very special. - Nelson Mandela - ******************************** I am from the land of tulips and mills. Writing is a need like eating and sleeping. I think we are all wondrous creatures who deserve to love ourselves and live in freedom. I like to participate in cases which can make a difference for myself, my surroundings and the earth. My wish: humanity in a non-dualistic society. more…
