_______________________________

Where did my love go?
He went out yesterday
Ffor a carton of milk
Where did my love go?
He should have been back
But he has not returned home

I wait by the phone
I check my email
There's no text message
I'm growing quite pale
I cannot eat a thing
I cannot sleep
What will become of me now that he is gone?

Where did my love go?
And whatever happened to my carton of milk
I miss him so

_____

I went to buy some milk
But after I got it, I had to see the cow
I drank up the milk
To fortify me for my journey to the farm

I travelled by bus
I hitched a ride
I borrowed a bike
But it hurt my backside
I walked the rest of the way
I slept in barns
Finally I found myself at the cow farm

I went to buy some milk
But I was inspired to see Elsie the Cow
I'm milking the cow

_____

My name is Elsie the Cow
I'm famous for my milk and for wearing flowers
Elmer is my bull
With him, we had our calves
Beulah, Beauregarde and the twins

I chew my cud
It is tasty and sweet
To get some milk
You have to sit at my feet
And squeeze and pull my teets
Till the milk flows
But who is this strange man milking me now?

I am Elsie the Cow
I'm famous for my milk
But I'm tired of being groped
I want to retire and just eat the flowers
Moo!
