That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for December 07, 2021

The goat wished she never answered that NANNY WANTED ad.

All the children of Saturn were cursed, / to be eaten by Pop (he’s the worst). / Baby Jove hid on Crete, / but a kid’s got to eat, / so on goat’s milk young Jupiter nursed. /// There were nymphs watching over the god, / but they didn’t find goat-suckling odd. / Not a one of the rest / offered her naked breast. / “Are you crazy? And ruin my bod?”

Goat’s milk is the new almond milk.

You can’t get milk any fresher than straight from the goat.

Early Hippy commune

Yeooooowoooo!!!

He might be young, but he’s the USDA’s top goat inspector. If he says it smells funky, it’s not Grade A.

there once was a woman named Pratt, who had triplets, Tom, Titt and Kat. it was fine in the breeding but not in the feeding because there was no tit for Tat…hence…the goat

(core of limerick not original)

No teeth! No teeth!

Lil’ finicky lad made everyone mad

Sure, pure milk seemed him too baaa-d

So when Christmas approached

They filled rum in the goat

And it gave milk punch instead

by jove, that got his goat…

The glamours of being a goat shepherd. Who knew?! I’d never had bothered getting a college education had I known this was their lot in life.

They made sure he never went hungry, or he’d get hungry and start throwing lightening bolts around.

That nymph who is holding the feet

is enjoying a special treat

From the table d’hote

a faceful of goat.

Aromatic- but not very sweet..

Is there an art historian in the house? I’ve no clue what this painting is saying. Though the comments do help.

The legend of Zeus’ survival

Is merely a myth (not “archival”)

And what could be stupider

Than to name a kid Jupiter?

He’s bound to become your rival.

It’s bad enough to prefer goats, but at least he could have asked for a nanny.

The gods must be crazy.

Young Jupiter gave new meaning to the phrase “getting his goat!”

I don’t think I would have liked being Nicolas Poussin’s next door neighbor.

Bravo Melcher! Good job digging this one up.

Look up here, when he is finished drinking the goat’s milk we can give him this broken limb to chew on.

Wait — this is a billy buck.

When you B.O. is so bad that the south end of a northbound goat smells better.

If I were you, Buddy, I’d watch the child less and put my attention on where the horns on that goat are.

How many people would drink milk if the had to suckle the cow or goat themselves?

Zeus started his philandering early.

“Honey, is little Chupacabra finished, because my arms are getting real tired.”

Zeus wants to grow up to be the GOAT

The very first delivery by a milkman.

Well, it’s got to be better than breast feeding a cat. https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/woman-reportedly-breastfed-cat-delta-airlines-flight

What do you call it when the milk runs down your chin?

A goatee.

dad holding goat so fat kid can get a drink, he drained mom completely out.

“He love that goat.”

Viktor Navorski

Jupiter: I identify as a kid! No – not that kind! You know … a baby goat!

What’s up with the second baby?

Hey! It’s my turn! Why are you taking so long! Dad!!! He isn’t sharing!

Ummm, that’s not a female goat!
