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.

I believe the cows were the ones giving him the instructions... Cowie was just too proud to tell you. Hilarious, Marie :)

How hilarious. I can just picture the whole scene. Somehow, I suspect "Cowie" was not a keeper.

Very cute and funny. I giggled a bit. I love random stories involving cows... I'm not sure why but I find cows to be one of the most comical animals in the world. Next to sheep and ducks because nothing can out wit them haha. The "Cowie" names was cheesy but it fit I suppose. Good description and detail.
