Go to Naut's Thoughts

- Go to And the there was Ben…LXVIII
The first thing I did was go to your link and to the comments to see if I had read it before. I had. I read my comment and then I went back and read your poem once more. Great. Now I'm back and trying to figure out why Ben might like to have his ears milked. I can't even imagine that one.

Way I learned that cow milking stuff was when I was drunk, I just sat on the stool and cow umped up and down. HAPPY EASTER pard.

where to start, the poem....as wonderful this read as the last time and it still brings that wonderful horse odour to me...then the cow i love that bovine odour as well and being a farm born girl, even though Dad had a milking machine, of course I had to learn to milk a cow. Eee-uh Yuk...i did not want to so...as a teenager I grew my nails and painted them.
..and as for Bennies ears...I refuse to get into a discussion involving ear nibbling!!

I learned to milk cows that year I lived on a farm.
Ever since then, I've kept my fingernails trimmed short. Lucky for me that's also good practice for a typist.

A man I used to know was only a boy he took the cows along the roadside for an extra treat. He usually carried a jam jar to handle his drink, but I have seen him slide under the cows and squeeze the milk into his open mouth. Now to read your poem.

I myself have never milked a cow. The only person I know besides you who has milked one is Harry James...I am curious to see where this goes with Ben's ears.
