That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for September 10, 2019

It was a love that dared not speak its name, but Bridget had an unbearable crush on Bernadette’s cow.

Harriett just couldn’t walk any more shoes that curled her toes up.

Um, Prudence, I know you’re a big Madonna fan, but that doesn’t go on your head.”

She’s an old cow poke from the low country

Edith liked to sit in the grass. She had liked to sit in the grass since she was a little girl. Most people said it was because she was lazy. W-h-a-t-e-v-e-r.

Edith, it looks like we took a wrong turn and ended up in an impressionism.

“…and then she said… so I said….. and…. "

Greta thought, The kids will back from the schoolhouse soon, I’ve gotta GET THE COWS HOME !

Great art -horrible punch lines

She just realised that this is her life now.

“I guess I didn’t pick a big enough bush to hide behind”

Come on over and try out my 19D battery hot stick.

Good night, baby

Good night, the milkman’s on his way

Why are ye cloggin up the field agin?

“Hey Gertrude! How do you keep your shoes so clean with all these cow patties lying around?”

Back in the days before social media, there was absolutely NOTHING to do.

As Danny DeVito’ character exclaimed so eloquently in “Throw Momma From the Train”—“COWS!!”

On its surface, this bucolic scene/ may seem supremely serene/ but if you only knew/ the true meaning of “moo”/ you’d be moved by their passions bovine !

“Awww.. wittle Mathilda fall down go boom? Get up and finish picking, you big dummy.”

“But ain’t it just great. Ain’t it just grand. We got each udder.” With apologies to Damn Yankees; music and lyrics by Richard Adler and Jerry Ross, book by George Abbott and Douglass Wallop (1955).

“That’s when she told me a story about free milk and a cow and said no huggee, no kissee till I get a weddin’ vow” The Georgia Satellites

Those aren’t your cows – that’s bull!

“The MilkMaid’s Story”

Gertrude was a little miffed that Gretchen decided to stage a sit-down strike.

I don’t want her to touch me with her 10 foot pole. Heck, that must make her 12 feet tall … NO WAY am I going over there.

Poor Margaret had just five minutes left in the “time out spot” wearing the dreaded “Hat O’Shame”. For her next offense, she’d have to sit on her shoes as well! :>)

Whassup? It’s not like 9/11 is a day off!

Prithee, Natalie, take off your clogs, real slow, but you can leave your hat on.
