BONUS SONNET: Urine-Sane, Or How We Can't Just Leave That Cow Pee Alone

I have it on the best authority
(George Hrab, that is, though he is really FAR
From being in a small minority
In calling out the notion as bizarre)
That a new drink will sweep us from the East.
A soda pop of cow pee that is meant
To purify and cleanse at very least.
How funny that it's now the start of Lent
As we learn this. Still stranger is the fact
That it's not our first time using cow pee
From India as a prized good. The tract
BRIGHT EARTH by Phillip Ball tells us of old
How mango-leaf-fed cows' pee fetched much gold.

  1. Thou hast made my day my dear.

    The last time I laughed out loud at reading a sonnet was...

    Umm...

    Well...


    Yeah.


    Seriously- that's absolutely fantastic. Can I read it on my show?

    THANKS!

  2. Of course you may! Just remember if you say my name, it rhymes with "Hate Your God"
