mad cow disease, we have it BAD

[Anonymous]

Just came in the house, poured me a cold one,
relaxing and listening, to the music being done.
Can't help but wonder, as the music I hear,
will this be another, hot and dry year?
And yes it will be like this, for another 5 days,
For our cows and their babies have had a parting of ways.
We have mad cows, it's an epidemic alright,
We just weaned the babies, AND THIS IS THE VERY FIRST NIGHT

Our daughter says she has to sleep in the basement because the cows keep her up, that is an excuse to be close to the TV, aren't kids so thoughful, their insight into the world and to see what they can get away with so great. I was born at night but it was not last night
