“The Cow’s Complaint” from A Kick in the Head by Alice Schertle

How unkind to keep me here
When, over there, the grass is greener.
Tender blades- so far, so near-
How unkind to keep me here!
Through this fence they make me peer
At sweeter stems; what could be meaner?
How unkind to keep me here
When, over there, the grass is greener.
