                           MILKING  TIME
			   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

                   When supper time is almost come,
		   But not quite here, I cannot wait,
		   And so I take my china mug
		   And go down by the milking gate.

		   The cow is always eating shucks
		   And spilling off the little silk.
		   Her purple eyes are big and soft --
		   She always smells like milk.

		   And father takes my mug from me,
		   And then he makes the stream come out.
		   I see it going in my mug
		   And foaming all about.

		   And when it's piling very high,
		   And when some little streams commence
		   To run and drip along the sides,
		   He hands it to me through the fence.

I thought maybe it was and early work by Joan Stark but I just looked at
her cow archive and it wasn't there.

But further searching brings me to realize that this cow was created by
Daniel Au. (I found this in dejanews in a thread about "mad cow")

its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
