A Goat and A Cow

By Jordan Kwong

A goat and a cow, the best of friends,

Even after arguing, they always made amends.

On a cold winter’s night, the goat lost a home,

The cow didn’t hesitate, offering his pen for loan.

The goat, so grateful, made a promise to the cow,

“Tomorrow, my food will be yours—don’t worry now”.

But morning came, and the cow awoke,

There was no food! Not even a yolk.

Sharing is caring, but also beware,

Some people out there don’t play fair.
