Time Travelling Cows

Cows such wonderful things
But what if they were time traveling
We don’t know what they have seen
We don’t know if they saw you when you were a teen
What if they saw your children’s children?
And saw you cry when they injected you with penicillin
We can’t trust them you know
What if they know your parent’s parents a long time ago?
How could you trust those beady little eyes?
What if they’re all undercover spies?
Which were sent from the future
And all fear the prehistoric butcher.
But this is all a prediction
This all could be fiction.
