will tell the tale of The Cow and the Rain
A short time since the COW was sad;
; She scarce could raise her head begad:
4 Her boots We're sore, her tall was limp:
Her name and bangs had lost their crimp;
. And miles 81 { tTudged from grass to drink
With scarcely strength enough to wink.
The owner. TOO. looked blue and glum,
And russed the cattle business some.
But since the rain the grass is tall
! The COW can raise her head and baWl;
Her hide IS sleek. no bones prOtrude.
She Frances like a Home Park dude.
I Her tail is sleek. her eyes are bright,
She snorts and dares the crowd to fight.
Her owner. too. digs up the chink.
# Aud asks the boys 10 take a drink.
God bless the rain. the gentle rain;
1t makes a man feel young again,
y He feels like tossing up his hat,
n And huwlipg like a democrat.
