These two cows were ruminating <br />and one says, I was listening <br />to the milkmaid’s transistor <br /> <br />and this French philosopher <br />was explaining that there’s <br />no English translation of the French word <br />‘betise’ except ‘stupidity’ but <br /> <br />‘stupidity’ only refers to man <br />where the French ‘betise’ means <br />to behave like an animal… <br /> <br />and the other cow says <br />well what’s wrong with that <br /> <br />and the first cow says <br />well his point is, English cows <br />can’t be stupid; only man <br />can be stupid.. <br /> <br />and the other cow says <br />well that’s a relief then <br />so does that mean that French cows <br />can be stupid <br /> <br />and the first cow says <br />no because they don’t have a word for it <br />in French <br /> <br />so the other cow says <br />so then is it better to be <br />an English cow <br />that can’t be stupid <br />or a French cow <br />that can’t be called stupid <br /> <br />and the first cow says <br />who cares, I’ve always said <br />the French ruminate too much <br />and then talk bullshit… <br /> <br />and the other cow says <br />I’m glad I’m a Jersey <br /> <br />what about that French milkmaid <br />I call sexyhands but <br />the farmer sometimes calls <br />a silly cow I wonder what <br />Derrida would say about that<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-cows-deconstruct-derrida/
