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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 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... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |
