Udder Madness

Cream of the Crop

By: - Dec 20, 2017

Udder Madness

Green mountain state
Verdant Vermont
Land of milk and honey
More cows than people
What to do 
With all that dairy
Make lots of moolah
Ben and Jerry’s Ice Cream
Cherry Garcia
Now gone global
Not locally sourced
Like back in the day
Visiting Cabot Cheese
Small samples spiked
On toothpicks
Every kind of cheddar
From a thousand farms
Over hill and dale
Exploring local microbrews
Quaffing hard cider
From all them apples
Wallowing in pastures
Thick with shit that
Flavors the grass
Sweetens the cream
Udder madness
Rolling down hills
Running in rivers
Bright with trout
Tooling about
Four wheel drive
Slip and slide
Far from home
But not alone
Cloudy gray days
Steady drizzle
Slush on windshield
While cattle munch hay
We come to play
Celebrating a holiday
No room in our inn
Season of lights
