trenchancy (adj.)) incisive or caustic vigorous; effective; energetic)
You may detect a vacant look
That permeates a fertile cow's mind
May have read in a familiar book
Clipping on an outright shine
Unabashed in its intentions
To salvage a sagging intensity
Nowhere its self-confidence
Lacks the much-touted sincerity
Its static and forthright demeanour
Standing tall against attempts to portray
A trenchancy animal has known before
Holding out and not nervous in any way

A great flow as away you go. Cows sure give that look, and can leave a mighty big pattie at ones nook.
ReplyDeleteNice contemplation on that cow's stare.
