A calf cries

A calf cries


Moo, moo, moos a little calf
Opening wide its snout;
Perhaps seeking its mother cow
That has been dragged in the field
Away to tether;
Perhaps begging us
To free it
For it might have desired to go
See his mother cow.
Moo, moo,it keeps mooing further.
Moo moo-it is unbearable!
Only a way to stop it
I thought, was to serve it water-
In a big aluminum bowl.
Poured from a big urn of water
I place it near
And there it comes
And gulp endlessly
To empty the bowl.
No moo now; no complaints
Perhaps, it was thirsty
Yet a moo confuses-
But one moo means
A complaint
Mourning
Happiness
Or inquiry.
Such is an animal
But owner should interpret the moo!
