Call me crazy, but I envy these cattle
They’re as patient and tolerant as can be
Their lives are simple, no struggles, no battles
They just live each day as they please
In a way, they’ve nursed us from our youth
They’re our foster mothers in a weird sense
We live off of the milk that they produce
So say hi to your momma behind the fence
Just think how free you would feel
If you ate as much as you like
Getting to eat the biggest meals
Tasting it as often as your mouth delights
Imagine life not worrying about weight
You could pile on the pounds without care
Big is beautiful. It feels so great
“Oh, I’m fat? I was not aware.”
This may be pointless or dumb
It may be just a stupid thought
An idea I couldn’t keep away from
But not a goal that I’ve sought
Yeah, I must be crazy for praising a cow
But they’ve got stamina and character, right?
I’m glad to be human, but anyhow
To be like a cow would be nice
I love “Sometimes I Wish I Could Be a Cow” it is good to see work based on everyday life around us. It is simple yet powerful. It teaches a great deal and especially to respect every form of life.
I gotta photo-blog here so check it out sometime..

I must admit I would never think anyone would desire to be a cow. But I was wrong!
