If I was a Cow

a poem by Shane Koyczan

If I Was A Cow

If I was a cow
being lead to the slaughterhouse
I would try to kiss you on last time
before my lips were mulched into wieners.
-----------------------------

OH - another one - I want to kiss you so bad I want to cut off my head and throw it at your lips!  But maybe that is crossing the line and sounding creepy.

-----------------------------------


So I didn't know that when I said I was going to watch all 835 hours of the 2010 Olympics that the first 300 hours would be the opening ceremonies.

I mention Shane Koyczan (a Canadian Slam Poet**) because he had a fantastic poem in the ceremonies about being a Canadian which really made me want to be a Canadian. Yet - everything thing is blocked on youtube.

A Slam Poet is a person that enters a competition at which poets read or recite original work. These performances are then judged on a numeric scale by previously selected members of the audience.

----------------------------------

I have a "F" day today as government employees are forbidden to think about work and to not get paid about not thinking about work.

That's all I have time for on this day off.

Have a great Monday
