What Do Cows Eat for Breakfast?

What do cows eat for breakfast?
Why grapefruit, of course.
In halves or in wholes,
Even cut up in fourths.

It’s good for their eyesight
With much lycopene,
And the vitamin C
Helps keep big noses clean.

Called “citrus paradisi”
In the Latin tradition,
This juicy delight
Is a prized acquisition

For cows big and small,
Black, white, brown, or splotched,
Go out with a grapefruit
And you’ll definitely be watched

With a keen bovine eye
Blinking “please, pretty please
Hand over that grapefruit
‘Fore I’m down on my knees.

“So juicy, so sweet,
So sense satisfying,
Name your price Farmer John,
‘Cause by golly, I’m buying!”
