How now browsed cow.


Extra extra, read all about it, daily cow, sad cow... extra extra. Man falls over, on the street. Cow ruminates, placidly, in a foreign field.
Extra, extra, daily cow, lazy cow. Extra! Small earthquake in Guatemala, little damage no injuries; cows plod through mud in doleful procession. Extra! Telegraph and cow, get your telegraph and cow, cow chronicles, extra! Man with wart in kissing bid, extra!
Cows surrounding boy, laying in a field, startled when he jumps up. Mad cows, moo cows, bad cows, shoo cows. Extra! Guardian cow, sacred cow, peace cow, famous cow, immortal and ephemeral, patting the car adverts and editorials with steaming heaps of full on bull. Dozy cow. Fat cow. Holy cow. Bat cow.
Extra, extra. Enthusiast dies in a place called Diss. Cows are still running the world. Horny cows. Tawny cows. Blue cows, moo cows. Baa baa! Extra! Read all about it. Poor cow, Ermintrude, cow and calf, in the news, more dignified perhaps than the financial pages, more pertinent perhaps, than the commentary, more mournful perhaps than the obituaries.
Extra extra, get your golden cow express! Chew over the contents and dash off a letter to the editor of the Times as fast as you can. Sir, what's wrong with the world? I am. Sincerely, baa baa moo moo.
P.S. please excuse my brevity, how do you expect me to write with hooves, you must be having a laugh! Your humble servant. the fatted calf.
