Eight Maids and Stolen Milk

Eight Maids and Stolen Milk


They worked so hard
And raided the lard.

All they wanted was something to drink
To soothe their thirst on the brink.

One had an idea that didn’t work
And left the others to only smirk.

Oh what would they do to satisfy a need
Of course, do the dirty deed.

So they stole a cow,
And it had to happen right now.

They dragged the poor dear up a hill.
And when she wouldn’t budge and just stood still

Some pushed from behind
And just in time,

Eight tired maids had stolen the milk,
Ever grateful it went down smooth as silk.

The cow was returned without a peep.
Bellies full, all the maids went to sleep.
