A Cockies Prayer

I long for a cow of modern make
that milks five days for pleasures sake.
That sleeps on Saturdays and snores on Sundays
and starts afresh on Mondays.

I wish for a herd that knows the way
to wash each other day by day,
That never bothers to excite us,
With chills or fever or Mastisis.

I sigh for a new and better breed,
that takes less grooming and less feed,
That has the reason, wit and wisdom
to use the seat and flushing system.

I pray each week-end, long and clear,
Less work to do from year to year.
And cows that reach production peak,
All in a five day working week.

I look for officials of the mob
To guide the farmers in their job,
And show these stupid breeders how,
To propogate a five-day cow !
