Cows In A Row

A humorous bovine account.

Cows In A Row

 

Fog rises from the tumbling foothills of the Smokies,

as our car rests on the shoulder of the road.

I stand at a vigil, while taking a lesson,

for future use if ever I have this accident by myself.

 

A herd of spotted black and white Jersey cows

stand in a row watching, as my flavor of the day,

boyfriend changes his flat tire. 

His last name happens to be Cowie.

 

One by one, they each moo at him,

as he completes each step of this life and

death process of changing a flat tire.

 

While he slowly verbally instructs me in his

most assertive drill seargent voice,

watching them closely observe him,

I start to wonder, could it be they

are cheering him on?

 

I smile and can't help but softly giggle at his

captive bovine audience. They appear to be

earnestly watching, as if taking lessons too. 

I roll my eyes with guilt, because they are

the only one's listening to the instructor.

very fun, its a good pick me up from other poems i have read on Writers cafe. you had very steady word choice, the more syllables, the better it sounds :P
this was a witty fun poem, i very much enjoyed it :D

Amusing. Like Rock 'n' Roll Cowboy noted, it's like a Far Side cartoon. Cows taking remote lessons on tire-changing from a guy named Cowie. Droll.

[Dinesh Sairam]

Much like a prose. But yes, you made me smile too. :)

Oh, you make me giggle like a school girl at the end of this one! Very cute, very clever, very TRUE!!

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

This was funny and entertaining... it's like a "Far Side" cartoon in poetic form.

[MuSe Ampoule]

Cute and entertaining. Great visuals here!

[Tina Kline]

I like this, this is really cute. I'm sure the cows really did find you both very interesting, wondering what you were doing there instead of passing on by in the car like everyone else!

[Dream Weaver]

I live in a place where I was surrounded by diary farms and so close you could smell them.(the cows)
