Lead on said the cow
you must show me how
and why if I die you will win
a ribbon for free
and that’s down to me
and its why people here
kind of grin
as much out of nervousness really
the little girl feeling alone
sadness and misery
whizo whizz wizory
holding a small piece of a bone
this little girl had realized she
was leading her cow to her death
on the moment of impact
her throat would be slashed
she would bleed out and just fight for breath
