Bovine Complicity



You could say a queue at an unopened gate is 
the bovine play on saying they’ll wait patiently 
until sure th’ message as such failed; or, - and 
more probably, their leader finishes chewing a 
blissful regurgitation of cud she’d saved for th’ 
moment to savour; though, no-way are they a 
fussy lot & nor will they express chagrin at not 
being let thru to presumed greener pastures 

Then after their so civil protest they’ll turn and 
amble back where they intended to when their  
lead Madam remembered gateway!, & veered 
off the path; suffice to say, we’re all asked for 
forgiveness if offence is rendered, but - & lest 
we forget, it is only the gate that surrenders
