The Intruders
Their bovine sentiments at the
appearance of strange creatures
adjacent their pasture expressed
in heaving great grunts and burping
moos, the ponderous beasts' close
proximity eliciting a frenzy of
barking alarums from two little
city dogs on their first introduction
to the de-horned milking cattle with
distended udders, a mixed herd of
Holsteins, Guernsey and Jerseys
alternately peering at the strangers
bemused and lowering their heads
to graze, all the while others of
the vast herd arriving in haste from
all directions, swelling the crowd
eager to assemble like residents of
a small rural town excited that the
circus has come to town, gawking at
the freaks that nature has improvised
for their entertainment courtesy of
our very similarly amused selves.
