I'm sorry I was
late

I have a hurt
calf, so it takes
a long time to
descend a stair

(I don't mean
the muscle after the knee
but the young cow I ride
bareback all over the house,
named Margaret,
after you)

I'm somewhere between admiring the economy of this and puzzling over the intent - although I think the latter must be hostile, and if so then the economy underlines that.

I rather enjoyed this :) Doesn't Margaret mean pearl?

I think it is rather witty. I was immediately placed in the realm of aging by the hurt calf and descending stairs so it was a joy to see that some old geezer is having the time of his life riding his cow who he named after his (now dec?) wife. I can even hear the 'Yeeee haaaa!

nice uplifting poem

What a grin-inducing slam that was. It's essentially a bad pun, but you made it work out.

I loved it. The link from the title to the content makes me smile from ear to ear.

Sounds like Margaret isn't your favourite cow! I'd choose Krasula!
A funny piece -
