The cow is such a dull animal. He never does much that is exciting.
The triolet is an old French form that is short and witty or more traditionally romantic. It has 8 lines in the rhyming scheme abaaabab. The first two lines (ab) and the last two lines(ab) are the same, as well as the first line and the fourth.

This is an illustration of a cow for a triolet about cows.



The Barnyard Cow





                   The barnyard cow seems the dullest of fellows .

                   He makes me yawn as he chews and chews.

                   He never talks. He just sort of bellows.

                   The barnyard cow seems the dullest of fellows .


                   Maybe if he were vivid yellow, or played a cello,

                   Or said “Hullabaloo” instead of just "moo."

                   The barnyard cow seems the dullest of fellows .

                   He makes me yawn as he chews and chews.

Note to all incensed farmer/rancher adults: Yes, I do know that a cow is a female, but the word "steer" which I should have used didn't sound right, and most kids don't know that steers are the "you know what males" on the farm, so , this is, sd we say in the writing field -- poetic license...
