It’s putting a face to the oft heard
saying of the grass is greener on
the other side
The cow
thinks so too having
kneeled under the barbed wire
It’s no more a metaphor
but literally proving the reality
and wisdom of the saying
Visually it is very apparent
Visually it is very apparent
That of envy and motivation to others
of the grass being greener
of the grass being greener
on a neighbor's turf

I have heard that saying all my life, but sometimes in real life the grass on the other side is not the greenest. Hope she does not get caught up in the wire.

ReplyDeletethis reminde me of our neighbor, an old couple. we always have to make sure that our lawn is well kept, no weeds, no dead grass, as they always have beautiful green grass all summer.

what is that cow thinking? that is too strange? ( :
ReplyDeleteOUCH, is what i am thinking.
Poor cow, always somewhere that is greener
ReplyDeleteOuch to the cow, that had to sting. Always greener
ReplyDeleteDear Hank,
ReplyDeleteI don't think the cow can differentiate the colour, but perhaps the other turf might be more tasty than on its side of the fence.
so very cute! :)
ReplyDeleteOh that is cute!
ReplyDeleteugh...that looks painful in the pic...painful as well as always assuming that the grass is greener as there are oft things we can not see...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brian, it doesn't look very comfortable for the cow.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your take on the photo, Hank!

....and when we finally made it over to the other side...we find it's not really greener or better at all...ugh...and we wanna go back..
ReplyDeleteVery smart Cow..or dumb...can't decide.
ReplyDeletewe all think that the other person or things we don't have are much better..
ReplyDeleteI guess this quality is innate.. we are never satisfied with what we have
