Maybe it’s true that in your poem the cow is grazing in the field and enjoying the trough of lovely fresh water

But look closer in the long, long grass

There is a baby calf drinking from its mum’s udder

Now the calf can stand on its hind legs

And maybe it’s true that the cow in the paddock is eating grass

but imagine if the cow was playing a trombone

to scare away the hawks to protect its baby.

By Ben Bongiovanni

 

Maybe it’s true that in your poem, the pigs run across the fence

But look closer

now you see the pig has roller skates on

He is going so fast, he is making the birds fly away

and maybe in your poem it’s true that the pigs fly

But imagine what might happen if the pig started to sit on the drums

making new music,

strange sounds that until now the world has never heard.
