Why take it out on me a dairy cows lament

Dairy cow operatives
take out their frustration
out on the cows
who then feel
they get the brunt of what
is going on
and wonder in fact
if its real

expletives a screwdriver
thrust in their ribs
its not really what they expect
but if a domestic has happened
at home
the problems they get comes direct

those, in need of care
and some are aware
that some are now needing to be
dependent on a slightly
more gentle day
but frustration at home
is the key

and it can resort in a slap
or a kick or goodness knows what
may be more
cows take a lot of stick and
frustration
the deal that they get
often raw

so what happens at home
can directly control
what happens, within the shed
whether the operative is happy
or sad
is whether the cow ends up dead
