Till The Wells Run Dry

 Milk it. Milk that cow till the wells run dry

Even when it moos,don't stop

For the work of a cow e'ryone knows

Is to provide milk to the owner


Milk it.Milk that cows till it oozes blood

Let it not claim that it is tired 

Who is the master of who,the cow or you?

Do anything but dont just stop milking


Milk. Milk that cows even when not fed

Even if it calls the cows' clan for a strike

Pull out your whip and whip all the cows

Lead it to the pen and capture the others 


Milk. Milk that cow even when it is sick

A cow is not permitted to fall sick

Not by God or by the veterinary doctor

Even when sick do not consider that factor


Milk. Milk that cow even on its death bed

How will you survive without its milk?

Even when it cannot stand go with a cup

Milk and thank yourself for milking with a gulp


Milk. Milk that cow even when it is dead

Who said dead cows provide no milk?

Charge for its death certificate and its

Burial permit. And remember to milk it


Milk. Milk that cow even in its grave

Make sure you charge grave fee 

For cows are not supposed to rest

But provide milk  that is the best

    Every line I've read, I've thought of so many ways in wich this poem can be analogous. To me, it's deeper than just milking a cow! Well done, Mike! I love it!
