About a most fantastic cow.

Miss Milky Daisy was her name,

And when, aged seven months, she came

To live with us, she did her best

To look the same as all the rest.

But Daisy, as we all could see

Had some kind of deformity,

A funny sort of bumpy lump

On either side, above the rump.

Now, not so very long ago,

These bumpy lumps began to grow,

And three or maybe four months later,

(I stood there, an enthralled spectator)

These bumpy lumps burst wide apart

And out there came (I cross my heart)

Of all the wondrous marvellous things,

A pair of gold and silver wings!

A cow with wings! A flying cow!

I’d never seen one up to now.

“Oh Daisy dear, can this be true?”

She flapped her wings and up she flew!

Most gracefully she climbed up high,

She fairly whizzed across the sky.

You should have seen her dive and swoop!

She even did a loop the loop!

Of course, almost immediately

Her picture was on live T.V.,

And millions came each day to stare

At Milky Daisy in the air.

The shouted “Jeepers Creepers! Wow!
