raincow

i looked up and i noticed
that the cloud above me
had the shape of a cow
yes, a cowshaped cloud

that was funny, i smiled
i like clouds very much
they are so soft and fluffy
so friendly

i like cows as well, as they look
so relaxed, standing or lying down
in their fields, chewing and mooing
ever so friendly

as i was smiling, it started to rain
but no, it wasn’t raining water
it was raining milk, fresh milk
i like milk

as the milky rain touched the grass
i filled a glass while sunshine rays
came down to color the milk
into a rainbow
