Living
The Re-echo Club: as by Robert Louis Stevenson (Purple Cow)
From The Re-echo Club
Living
In winter I get up at night
And hunt that cow by lantern light;
In summer quite the other way,
I seek a Purple Cow by day.
And does it not seem strange to you,
I can't find cows of purple hue?
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'm glad I'm not a Purple Cow.
