I was doing a wee bit of pondering today. Just a whimsical wander you understand. I was wondering who or what the bright spark was who invented farming in winter? Who, or what manner of creature could be so perverse as to conjour up such an idea?
According to ‘The University of the Bleeding Obvious .co.uk’ suspect farms were actually the brain child of cows. The whole domestication idea was probably their own after trying to fend for themselves in the jungle. They probably actually urged us to fence them in. "Look, here's our proposition, a 'hay for milk' program. We give a top grade that's not only a thirst quenching drink, but good for cheese and butter and something we like to call 'chocolate shakes'. You'll get the complete recipe book. Just put up a couple of fences for us. Right now all we've got are our tails. Unlike flies, mass frantic swishing has failed to scare away a single lion. Our fastest sprinters can't even out run the old lame cheetahs. It's sad. We're just not nimble with these little spindly legs. Attempts to hoist ourselves up the trees, although initially seen as an innovative idea, weren't successful as we completely forgot about such nemeses as the bears and pythons. Geez-O-Pete!! Was that a mistake?
So you see there really is no place for us to go. And just to sweeten the deal, as if it needs sweetening, we'll throw in a couple of sheep. Cute and cuddly, aren't they? They don't know what's going on half the time and I don't even think they'll notice where they are. You'll find their wool will make warm garments. Have you ever thought about growing a patch of mint? We'll explain that later."
Improbable you might say! but you must admit it is possible? It is after all, no less plausible than man decending from apes! Yeah go on pull the other one! 'Darwin' I hear you utter, tho god knows why? Darwin is in Australia innit?
