The purplexing cow

Would a purple cow have a purple heart?
Or a head for figures? Or a brain so smart?
Would all mauve cattle, from the start
have udder contempt for leather art?

Could a purple cow be going through
a purple patch cloaked in a hue?
This purple passage ranks highly now;
Tough pill to swallow for purple cow.

Foe wounds from service since the start.
Should a purple cow have a purple heart?
Could the cow be sitting in a purple patch?
With a purple cow-bell to match?

Could a purple cow meet a purple bull?
Might bovine attraction, these bovines pull?
Might a purple cow be tickled pink
to know what purple bulls might think?

Would a transcript of a purple "moo"
translate to make the air turn blue?
Could a purple cow enjoy yellow corn,
A sleep in the meadow, a blue boy's horn?

Could little boy blue lead the cows by the horn?
Making blue movies, for rent or pawn.
Under the haystack, a roll in the hay
with the queen of her herd; The dame in her day.

With someone else she had been seen;
with envy, purple cow turned green.
The scene filled purple cow with dread.
Might purple bull be seeing red?

Could a purple cow get a sore black eye?
Would the bruise turn purple, by and by?
Are purple bulls the chosen ones?
Should bulls fear purple cows with guns?

This idea, purple bull feared most.
The purple cow was white as ghost.
Could a purple cow be feeling blue?
Or just a patch she's going through?

(It's rumoured, cattle really crude
are rarely put right off their food.
For ruminants rarely reach such ruts.
Quite simply they just have more guts.)

If the calf was raised with a silver spoon
could it happily learn to be over the moon?
Could a purple patch end it's sad form slump?
Now over the moon, might it happily jump?

Some cows are kind and true, I'm told.
Might a purple cow have a heart of gold?
Could a purple cow have a purple heart?
Is this the end or just the start?...
