Five Simple Steps

On milking a cow.

Five simple steps I offer you
to milk a cow today.
If followed right, I guarantee
the milk will come your way.

Step one is fitting to the cause—
important here and now.
So thus begins a crucial point;
make sure you have a cow.

Step two regards retaining it;
without it you will fail.
It is udder necessity;
be sure you have a pail.

Now in the scheme to get the milk,
it helps to keep your cool.
You do not want to stand or kneel,
so bring along a stool.

Step four is vital for the mood;
much better than soft talk.
Play music to relax the cow;
some Beethoven or Bach.

And so the list is at its end,
and now you can perform.
Step five prevents a bovine jump…
make sure your hands are warm.
