Laugh my tits off! Well, I guess, one cow's nightmare is another bull's dream -- to improvise on Merlin the magician.

Have your ever read Robert Louis Stevenson's poem for children called "The Cow." I've loved it for as long as I can remember, and there's something in your piece here which is reminiscent of it. I'll reprint it, if I may. It's very brief and very charming:

The Cow

The friendly cow all red and white,

I love with all my heart:

She gives me cream with all her might,

To eat with apple-tart.

She wanders lowing here and there,

And yet she cannot stray,

All in the pleasant open air,

The pleasant light of day;

And blown by all the winds that pass

And wet with all the showers,

She walks among the meadow grass

And eats the meadow flowers.

-- Robert Louise Stevenson, A Children's Garden of Verses, 1885
