The Cow on the Hill
From the book The Elephant Repairman
The cow that you see
eating grass on a hill
is doing a lot more
than just standing still.
She nibbles the grass
and she sips from the stream,
to make into milk
and convert into cream.
And that’s how we get
all our milk, cheese, and butter.
The grass goes in one end
and milk out the udder.
