The Inner Cow

"The Inner Cow"

I tried to sell my fear of mice;
The cost was low--a pair of dice.
I yelled my deal out in the store,
And then they kicked me out the door.

The sidewalk hurt--I tasted blood.
I mooed, and tried to chew my cud.
The inner cow in me awoke;
I swore off milk and drank a Coke.

I got up off the cold concrete,
And ran off screaming down the street.
I punched a car and broke the glass,
And drove it off the overpass.

Broken bones and twisted steel,
I crawled out from beneath the wheel.
I hugged the cop--my long-lost twin,
But he stuck me in the looney bin.
