the leaving cow

Summer has been having a few ha-ha’s at our expense; she says that the leaning cow was actually a cow that had hurt two feet on one side and was leaving to get help. Of course, she would be leaning to the hurt side, wouldn’t see? Or not? If she were leaving, she has come back, so it would have to be the leaving and returning cow; well, we are going to stick with the leaning cow. Besides she sometimes “leans” on us to do things – and she doesn’t stop with our getting hay and fixing the fence and sprucing up the meadow/pasture. No, she fancies herself a conscience. We don’t tell too many people that.

They might ask, “What does your conscience tell you?”

And we would have to say, “Moo.”
