We received a call from the
City dump
High up on the hill
Overlooking Rajastan
Not the greatest thrill
To go up there and realise
That a particular cow
Was sifting through the
Rubbish and did appear somehow
To have a rope around it’s neck
Which was far too tightly strung
And clearly the cow was suffering
And from time to time had hung
Her head down clearly suffering
Which Could be attributed to
What appeared gross negligence
And What we had to do
Was To find the beast and help her
And this is what did
It took four hours to catch up
With her
So we could help her rid
Herself of what looked terrible
Bringing her back we found
The rope had caused a ghastly wound
For she had been badly bound
The wound was deep and ugly
Maggots were everywhere
We Applied some maggot powder
After shaving off her hair
The wound was dressed
And in an hour or two
We cleaned the wound
And she
was bandaged up again
And left to rest
So we could see
The next day we removed the dressings
And cleaned her yet again
And carried out the treatment
For four weeks and did attain
A healing
It is wonderful how given time and care
Loving cuddling sharing
How animals are Aware
And do respond to treatment
For This was a nasty case
But the time spent was all worth it
And you should see her face
She is really comforted and looks full of joy.
