Three cows




Three cows stood behind a wall
and stretched their necks to eat.
One pushed and shoved
and caught her neck
trying hard to beat

the other two to a taste of grass
while the wire hurt her neck.
But the others stopped
for a photograph
and didn’t take a peck

of the grass cuttings piled there at the wall
but stood there for the photographer
and tried to look their best
while the other hoovered-up
the cuttings from the lawnmower.

And which is best? What one to choose
when faced with food or fame?
Do you eat the grass
or risk that the camera
will ask your name?
