I’ve never seen a purple cow
Never imagined that one existed
But Nash’s poem was a novel concept
And the wonderment persisted
I’ve always wanted to be marveled at
For the depth of my perception
Aspiring to do impossible tasks
Of course, this time was no exception
Sitting on the john one day last week
I got a lightening flash inspiration
If there’s a purple cow, I’ll find her
And put an end to this frustration
We have purple this and purple that
Even a famous purple dinosaur
It would be totally and udderly remarkable
If there’s a purple cow for sure
Seen lots of pictures of those purple critters
In commercial ads and children’s books
I reckon one can find most anything
If she checks all the crannies and nooks
I covered parts of the civilized World
Went to places no human had been
Never glimpsed a purple animal of any kind
So I guess I’ll take it on the chin
Yep, I searched the World both far and near
Through the vastness of the Internet
Haven’t really had any luck so far
But if she’s out there, I’ll find her yet
Bossy…phone home
