When The Storms Came

When The Storms Came

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Aliens and cows in no special order but a line would be nice

When The Storms Came


When the storms came it was catastrophic

They came with cattle bashing hammers

Winds whipped up in ferocious tornado action

They came with the giant cyclops on their backs

Angry because of the extra visual acuity missing

They were wielding axes too to slaughter more cows

Revenge is sweet for one eyed beasts


No milk for you, you filthy animals

No hamburgers on a toasted bun

You meat eating savages with no regard for life

Human or otherwise. Shame on you.

Hold the onions and fries while I cry

Cows don't live inside because they hate you


Invisible forces blew through shuttered windows

When the winds came in it was with a vengeance

But there were no cattle inside

They had already died

Open ranges can be dangerous for grass eating critters


Weeks later new cattle arrived on the prairie

When the flying saucers came from outer space

It was worse than anything imaginable on Earth

Invisible forces drew each cow up one by one

In a line for the sake of efficiency

What happened next we can not say

But we began to eat hot dogs (the ones without the tails)

Do aliens really like cows more than people?

We wonder if we all taste like chicken to them
