HORSE TRAVEL
People rode horses or walked
before there were automobiles.
They'd saddle up old Betsy or
hook her to a wagon with wheels.
Off they’d go for a carefree ride
in winter, snuggling with all ages
in a crowded sleigh or buggy ride.
Then came the horseless carriages.
MILK COWS
Ever milked a cow?
It’s really lots of fun.
But watch out, for momma
for she can weigh a ton.
If you didn’t have a milk cow,
there was nothing to drink.
You’d have to buy your milk
from a farm. What do you think?
Hamburger comes from a cow, too.
Tasty steaks and nice roasts to eat.
We’d be hungry without cattle,
and cowboys to raise our beef meat.
These made me smile Lin....
