The Cow Debatest he Herdsman

Rename there public if you must. Call it the Federal Republic of Cows. But do not smear our grass es with blood. Human blood makes us dizzy.

Forget your point, our dear Head Cow. For your sake we kill people well well. We kill man we kill woman we kill pi kin. Come see come see come see.

Grass es are all we ask for. Must we Walk the stretch of the earth for grass es? Try some ranch es for a change. Must you Drag us through farm lands?

Forget your point, our dear Head Cow. For your sake we kill people well well. We kill man we kill woman we kill pi kin. Come see come see come see.

Our grass es are in the national budget. Get us some warm grass es from Brazil. Build a gilded dining hall for the Cows of Naija But leave human blood out of the menu.

Forget your point, our dear Head Cow. For your sake we kill people well well. We kill man we kill woman we kill pi kin. Come see come see come see.

Rename there public if you must. Call it the Federal Republic of Cows. Put all cows into the parliament or make us Heads of State by common sense.

Forget your point, our dear Head Cow. For your sake we kill people well well. We kill man we kill woman we kill pi kin. Come see come see come see.
