A Tip on Cows

I always believed that the cow-tipping practice
Was totally mean and not fun.
I thus was relieved when I learned that in truth,
It has probably never been done.

For starters, it takes at least four burly people
To push one with adequate force.
Cows also sleep lightly when standing erect,
And they’re apt to resist you, of course.

Besides, if the cow isn’t injured or sick
And the fall isn’t into a ditch,
She shouldn’t be stuck there; cows frequently lie
On the ground and get up with no hitch.

For thousands of years, we’ve had people declare
That some quadrupeds couldn’t arise
Once fallen, despite simple proof to the contrary.
Please, let us try to be wise.
