Cows

Don't you just love cows?
Their large heads.
Dark docile eyes,
With curling eyelashes.
Their interest in your activities.
They casually saunter over to check you out.
Bulk moving on dainty toes,
Large painted nails.
The warm belly against your cheek as you milk.
Swish, swish into the bucket.
Their gangly calves with sandpaper tongues.
And swirls in their soft coats.
Tottering warily about you.
One eye on escape.
