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

It did work and almost felt as good as my wife, but i did end up using a stool. Asian from China Comment 18 of 19, added on February 7th, 2008 at 8:13 PM. How old is this audience, I wonder. This poem is FUNNY folks. Remember HUMOR - I don't dare put a question mark behind any of the comments I make for fear it "will be removed." I always believed this poem was written in response to Ernest Hemmingway's huge bestseller, "The Sun Also Rises," which was lauded and drooled over by cummings' mortal enemy - 'the world of Academe.' But regardless of WHY it was written, you should be able to GET the satirical, humorous tone of this poem. What a bunch of dummies.
