How Now Brown Cow

Just like a cow knee-deep in mud

who stands musing, chewing her cud,

a poet wades thru lots of words

with a mind as free as the birds.

Often his words seem to take wings

and he talks of unworldly things.

Then such an individual

is thought to be spiritual.

It’s really his philosophy

and not spirituality

which has given him an access

to such a cosmic consciousness.

Anyone with an open mind

can find colored cows of this kind.
