Fun, Veronica!

Ha! Very funny Veronica. I like the idea of daring a cow to do anything. I can just see the careful rumination as the cow goes over in her mind the pros and cons of accepting such a dare. But she is much more powerful than she lets on! Excellent haiku Veronica. A very fun play off "Hey Diddle Diddle".

Thank you. I was thinking how else do you get a cow to jump over the moon? No one can refuse a double dog dare.
Kerry Dexter Apr 14, 2011, 2:08pm UTC
and I am picturing the other cattle casting glances, mulling over will she do it? will she?

Sounds like a haiku nursery rhyme...hey...(or should I say HAY) cows have a very big following...hangin' around them can be a moo-ving experience

Thank you posting to the Triple Name Club.

That was great! Three of us (that I've read, so far) working on moon haiku...love this, very playful!
Veronica Hosking Apr 16, 2011, 12:02pm UTC
Yes there were a few of us jumping towards the moon.

That was marvelous... I love things to do with nursery rhymes and fables.
Veronica Hosking Apr 17, 2011, 11:45am UTC
Thank you Mustafa. I enjoy putting a new spin on old favorites, too.
