Cow of a Day at Work

When is a cow of a day at work good news? The answer; when someone brings Picasso Cow for a visit. A little bit curious? Last week when I arrived at work I found that someone had hand delivered a large cow. Not an ordinary cow, not one that moos but a rainbow coloured, life size cow right into the library. There it stood by the SmartBoard as if reading. It is the kind of cow that brings a smile to the face. Standing before it I tried to imagine the good Samaritans who had gone to the trouble of relocating it first from the stage in the hall to a classroom on the hill and thence, to the library. Did they man handle it, did they use a trailer? For a cow that can't move under its own steam or legs for that matter it was rather perplexing. Picasso sure gets around. I'd love to field the paperwork if either of the removalists was injured. You can only wonder what the insurance assessor would think. Picasso's reading material has been reviewed almost daily and when I left it on Friday afternoon it was examining a flow chart on dairies and milk production. Needless to say it has been a hit with the students. If like, the cow says, 'Three serves a day;' what great readers we'd see at my school. For those desiring to know the title of the first text it was Clancy The Courageous Cow.' Even cows have heroes.
