A Cow Attempted To Persuade

A Cow Attempted To Persuade

A cow attempted to persuade

A lion how it wasn’t right

To be another’s supper made

And satisfy his appetite:

For after all, the cow said, “How

Would you, a lion, have to feel,

Should one eat you up like a cow

By making you into his meal?”

The lion, once he thought about

His victim (all she had to say)

Her problem, being figured out,

Responded to her in this way:

“Were I the cow, I’d disagree

And want to be the lion too;

As it would not go well for me

Albeit would go well for you.

“But as God wanted me to eat,

(Provided I’d be given food)

The lion makes a cow his meat

And that affects his attitude.

“This could not be by accident,

So that I have but one recourse:

It has to be just what He meant

For me to exercise brute force.

“Indeed it may not be so kind

But it is how God made it so.”

The lion fell to while he dined

Upon the understanding cow,

Who could not help but satisfy

The lion who she had to sate

For knowing now exactly why

That it was she the lion ate.
