it's what's for dinner

those cows

in that trailer

i swear they're

looking at me

hooked up

to a truck

parked

next to Casey's General Store

they peek through

the opening

long, sultry eyelashes

framing big brown eyes

moo!

that's what they said

help!

is what i heard

i wanted to

apologize

for my taste

for beef

especially london broil

that's my favorite

or filet mignon

wrapped in bacon

but hey,

who likes pigs, anyway?

grilled is best

on an outdoor barbeque

that smell of grilled beef

in summertime

i usually eat min e

medium

i don't like it

too rare

i'm sorry

i said

to the mooing cows

batting those eyelashes

those eyes

those soulful eyes

boring into me

i started the car

and drove past

noticing then

that they were dairy cows

(feeling quite silly)

and I vowed

then and there

to drink more milk.
