e.e. cummings - the way to hump a cow is not... (14)

the way to hump a cow is not
to get yourself a stool
but draw a line around the spot
and call it beautifool

to multiply because and why
dividing thens by nows
and adding and(i understand)
is hows to hump a cows

the way to hump a cow is not
to elevate your tool
but drop a penny in the slot
and bellow like a bool

to lay a wreath from ancient greath
on insulated brows
(while tossing boms at uncle toms
is hows to hump a cows

the way to hump a cow is not
to push and then to pull
but practicing the art of swot
to preach the golden rull

to vote for me(all decent mem
and wonens will allows
which if they don't to hell with them)
is hows to hump a cows

I call bull on the comment left by "Prof. Aaron Merkin". Convenient how the memoir was never published - next time you should use the name of an actual professor so a web search doesn't reveal that you are lying.

Like cows, we move in herds. And politicians screw us through misdirection (draw a circle round the spot), meaningless verbage (the second section), and finally not even getting the names of the sexes right (mems and wonens). And of course, if they don't vote for him, "to hell with them". Sounds like politicians I know. And voters too.

It did work and almost felt as good as my wife, but i did end up using a stool. Asian from China More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
