PR 31 “The Cow on the hill” by Kenn Nesbitt

The cow that you see

eating grass on a hill

is doing a lot more 

than just standing still.

She nibbles the grass

and she sips from the stream,

to make into milk

and convert into cream.

And that’s how we get

all our milk, cheese and butter.

The grass goes in one end

and milk out the udder.
