The bell
One day a highlander cow
wandered around in the field
where she graze and graze and graze
as far as she was capable
Around her neck she wore a bell
it was pulling real tight
she barely was able to breathe
the bell stood straight across
The cows head felt stuffy
she really could use some help
to get rid of that tighdie feeling
but the question was how
She saw a blackbird and moo at it
please bird can you help
cause this thing around my neck
is choking me to death
The blackbird saw in the distance
the farmer in the field
it gripped itself at the clapper
and gave it some good swing
The farmer heard the commotion
quickly he went on his way
and as he came closer
he saw what was the deal
The blackbird left as fast as he could
the scenery he was into
before the farmer did arrive
he landed on the fencing
The farmer took his knife
and setted the highlander free
the cow was quite releaved
and with a sigh a f*rt released
