Nonsense poetry. Warning: May be contagious

Posted by Dinah on February 23, 2002, at 20:00:43

I have had a poem running through my mind all day. It's constantly in the background, like one of those songs you can't stop singing.

It's "A Purple Cow" by Gelett Burgess

I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

It certainly isn't the worst thing that I've ever had running through my head. Not by a long shot. But I'm hoping that by sharing it, I can lose it.

Thanks,
Dinah

i grew up with that poem 8:o) (nm) » Dinah

The Elephant is a dainty bird
It flutters from bough to bough
It builds its nest in a rhubarb tree
And whistles like a cow

:o)

Cows to birds

Little birdie in the sky
why you kaaka in my eye?

I'm not shy,
I don't cry
I'm just glad that cows don't fly!
