Jennie's Calendar, 1917

The Cow.

The Cow is too well known, I fear,
To need an introduction here.
If She should parish [sic] from earth's face
It would be hard to fill her place;
For with the Cow would disappear
So much that every one holds dear.
Oh, think of all the Boots & Shoes
Milk punches, Gladstone Bags & stews,
And things too numerous to count,
Oh, which, my child she is the Found.
Let's hope, at least, the Fount may last
until our generation's past.
Oliver Herford.
