longlastinglove poem
it’s been over forty years since jim
a former herdsman worked in this
barn he stands here looking around
feeling its emptiness reminisces
my favorite cow was a big rugged
gentle cow of good production, I-9,
she always stood just at the entrance
to the lower barn beside her stood
my other favorite J-2 her sister
another favorite, K-5 stood about
one fourth of the way around to the
right then there was H-9 who was
being milked when she rode on the
float in the fourth of july parade
