prompt: What did you say?

I said,

"Roses are Red, Violets are Blue
Sugar isn't sweet, and neither is beef stew."

And the cow asked me,

"What did you say?"

I said, "neither is beef stew.

After all, Trump pardoned a turkey. Can't I pardon you?

Cows take up too much land to raise, it's true.

Eating you causes heart attacks, and that's true too.

Roses and violets, they quickly come up anew

But once you eat a cow, God has to make do.

How to grow another so soon God hasn't a clue.

And in the air, they leave too much poo.

So I say, let the cows live, or kill only a few."

And the cow said, "for your concern, I say thank you."

And then the cow said one more thing;

She said, "moooo."
