Happy Birthday daffodil



Tuesday is your birthday daff ...I'm still suffering from writer's block so I thought to make up this page of silliness for your Birthday.




Ok, so here goes - completely off the top of my head but it's from my heart.




 I'll stand up and udder -Happy Birthday to you


recite it in Spanish, French or Hebrew


Shucks, I really don't know how


for I only speak cow


So I'll just say, Happy Birthday to Moo !








Hey remember how we first met, back when I was a mod and you told me about your love for cows? 


Since I was raised on a farm I let you in on a secret that not many know, passed down from my dad - on how to make a cow remember you always as a friend.


 Well here is an old photo of my dad when he was in Holland...a farm hand and i think this may be the first cow he tried it on. Yes. this cow made history. I love this photo and i miss him still but wanted to share it with you....




dad0002.jpg





For all you other cow lovers out there... here's what you do....




1. You slowly walk up to a cow..don't make any loud noises or sudden movements.





2. Oh, i forgot - make sure there's a fence between you and the cow since you are a stranger and she might stampede you. Keep in mind they are gentle but moody. 


Did I fail to mention that to you daff? Hope not.





3. Make eye contact but show no teeth....if you wanna smile be sure it's a closed mouthed smile - cuz to this easily spooked beast, she'll think you're baring your teeth...especially if you have a huge over-bite... it'll give the wrong impression and first impressions are lasting.  So you're best off to keep your pearly whites hidden.





4. Bend over and grab a hand full of green grass since as we all know, The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. 


WARNING - this is from the cow's perspective ...not yours - dont and I repeat, Don't stick your hand on the cow's side of the fence to grab the grass ....she cud step on it.




5. Extend the grass through the fence and towards the cow as you softly whisper sweet cow nothings such as " You're such a fine bovine" or " If i were a bull and you the cow..I'd get on your back and show you how"  or even " Nice teats"




6. As the cow is chowing down on your offerings - stroke its head..up and down lightly - before you leave ..bring your face up to the cow and blow up her nose...she'll will remember your scent always and know you as a friend for the next time.






What makes you so special daff - when i told you this...you didnt question it...you didnt think me odd ... you went straight out ...found a cow and blew up it's nose. That bonded you to me and showed me you're my kind of gal.




I luv ya, so glad I met you - I wish you the best Birthday ever!

    The return read button is a bit like diving into a Lucky Dip, one never knows what one will open up! Am delighted to say that this time the Lucky Dip let me unwrap the same gift again, yes I read this before but well worth another read and still as touching with the irrepressible humour of the poetess with the sincerety felt of finding a kindred spirit, so personal and definitely, definitely unique! Bravo-licious! Btw I have written my own epic since we spoke of hens and I forgot to include a verse re cows, which was remiss of me, I shall do so forthwith lol, smiles from across the miles

    Daffodil should grab her quill
    and write you out of her will
    She must know
    If she's not slow
    Is that that cow would KILL !

    So glad you are returning for some extra giggles. I just noticed that cow in the picture with my dad has a chain around it's back leg. I do hope thats only an ankle bracelet Or maybe its to keep her foot still while being milked...

    You certainly give us cows for celebration. Who else could milk so much happiness from the south end of a northfacing bovine? I found this very mooving. Loved the pic of your Dad.
