Pumpkin's Green Vines

As the sun drifts away,

the scarecrows come out to play.

They dance and leap, through fall’s

leaf heaps.

Splendor is the autumn breeze,

flowing through the dying trees.

The full moon shines, on the pumpkin's

green vines.

The foggy forest glows, as the owl's eye shows.

Throughout the night, the scampering paws

and the bat’s flight.

The darkness through the wood,

as the ghosts sing as they should.

A beautiful autumn night, with only a little

fright.

So I am by no means a “country boy,” but I also would not consider myself a “city boy” either. I’ve camped, hiked, and ridden horses, but I definitely have not dealt with cattle, sheep, and farming…EVER. With this history, I was incredibly ill prepared for a particular experience I would endure during my first year of veterinary school at UGA.

It was spring semester and that blasted anatomy class was finally over. We actually would get to touch live animals and it smelled and felt so…non-formaldehyde-y. With my sinuses clear, I was ready to learn and be “hands-on” with ruminants for the first time. I definitely did not realize just how “hands-on” I would be. But first off, goats are adorable and sheep are much bigger than they look on the movie Babe. Secondly, cows can squat.
