"BOTHER TOMORROW! LET'S LIVE TODAY! TAKE THE ADVICE OF A COW."

The poem "Ode to a Cow" was originally printed in The 1936 Old Farmer's Almanac. It is a wonderful reminder that we can all "refuse to fret or worry or brood," no matter how unsettling the world becomes. When we "go and look at a cow," we are reminded to stand outside, enjoy the warmth of the sun, and live today!

Ode to a Cow: When life seems one too many for you, Go and look at a cow. When the future's black and the outlook blue, Go and look at a cow. For she does nothing but eat her food, And sleep in the meadows entirely nood, Refusing to fret or worry or brood Because she doesn't know how. Whenever you're feeling bothered and sore, Go and look at a cow. When everything else is a fearful bore, Go and look at a cow. Observe her gentle and placid air, her nonchalance and savoir faire, Her absolute freedom from every care, Her imperturable brow. So when you're at the end of your wits, Go and look at a cow. Or when your nerves are frayed to bits, And wrinkles furrow your brow: She'll merely moo in her gentle way, Switching her rudder as if to say: "Bother tomorrow! Let's live today! Take the advice of a cow." - 1936 - The Old Farmer's Almanac
