Listen! Hear my tale of a man and his lady
Trying to run a farm but life was pretty crazy
Til they started blogging on steemit and then soon
They were milking a cash cow going to the moon!
Everyone on facebook is giving it away
While our steemit farmers get paid for what they say!
Tell your jokes and stories, share pictures, make some friends
Get an abundance mindset, giving is the trend!
So get yourself signed up, do secure your password keys!
Go read and comment, make some friends! (No spamming, PLEASE!)
Be genuine and generous, you, too will soon
Be milking the steem cash cow, headed for the moon!
This is perfect!
Aw, thank you! It has been an amazing ride for me. @papa-pepper sort of had front row seats to all the drama of my growing pains whether he was interested or not, but steemit has really become more of a vision than a website around here!
This is awesome!
Thank you, it truly amuses me to know I have amused some else lol!
Give me liberty or give me death
Said the cow said the man said the deaf
The American Dream diluted
Out of the shadows we rise
A steem train to bring hope to the wise
There will be beauty where there were ashes
Give me liberty or give me death
Said the cow said the woman said the deaf...
HAHA thanks guys!!
how can i participate here??
just write your poem.
Hard to pass this opportunity up with such an inspiring picture. I especially like the "disembodied" hands on the back of the cow from the original picture. Classic!!! 🤣 Here's my entry:
The Cash Cow of Steem
I mean what I moo and I moo what I mean
This grass I am eating turns to cash in between
The hands on my back with no arms grab the green
That's the way that it works: RAGS TO RICHE$ on $teem.
I moo what I say and I say what I moo
Your photos and stories are the cud that I chew
Churning comments and blogs into dollars so true
RAG$ TO RICHE$ on $teemIt is what you can do.
Now if that's not enough, what it needs is a tune
And from what I have read that too's coming soon
It may not be pretty but I still like to croon
"I'm the cash cow of Steem. RAG$ TO RICHE$ then mooooooooooon!!!
Thank you very much! I'll be here all week.....

The symbol of the brahma brings milk to the hard working,
Amidst the toil of farming the snow comes a tumbling.
Still we must eat, and four stomachs makes grass fling
quickly into compost. There's a constant grumbling
within the heart of those who need their own cash.
And so here we are together, wanting to make steem last.
A laugh from a friend is worth more than an upvote,
so we stick together til the end, then we raise goats.
Churning the milk into butter is like condensing our
thoughts into their purest form. High in the tower
of the long thought cryptosphere, we call essence
to come forward and bless us with luminescence.
@lonestarpoet
Wonderful
I hope to be good as u
Thank you very much :)
Beautiful... love the words...
Steem Cash Cow
Have you heard about Steem?
No!
Why not? I scream
I live under a rock, he says
Do you think good content pays?
He laughs and looks at his partner in crime,
They say together "That was a different time"
But I took them on a steem engine journey,
told them to never forget their key,
and now their farm is a citadel
Their blog is doing really well
If you ever ask them "How?",
They'll point at their Steem Cash Cow
This is my participation I hope you like it!.....
From the window of my mansion
formal dress with my great love,
I see all my action
Green field and four leagues of cattle.
waiting for the great celebration
A MO... here another MO... there!
and a lot of Steem that I want to win
to celebrate with a song
my most beautiful inspiration.
Thanks @papapepper for this great opportunity. More blessings!
Rag to riches,steem cash now.
It was an illusion in full expression that brought about depression and provocation when thinking about the present situation,thinking of promotion was never the mission due to the classification in the congregation. But despite the separation,those with worst condition are in full expression of a better situation. Better is the the ending than the beginning,you might be on rag in the morning due to lack of money,many might not want to company with you right now due to your suffering that brought about morning and grumbling.
But here was a man with many rags right before he find steemit,and here is a man with true riches due to cash inflow from steemit.
So here is my own entry/poem @papa-pepper
Title: Steem the cash cow
In the dark of night, the clouds gave way for the fight
It was yet another day by the farmers side.
Comfort or steem he had to choose,
Clothes he wore like rag, he dared not brag
the cow he loved, he soon would lose.
Family pressure on him like nuke,
hunger was a friend called Luke.
Sell steem the cow, voices in his head whispered
Or don't sell me, steem the cow mooed.
I can give you milk, sell or maybe....
I can make you rich, ask your lady...
While I fed in the field, I saw her diamond.
Lost she knew not where, time she could not tell
I can give you milk, sell or maybe....
I can make you rich, ask your lady....
Am the steem cash cow, when you are ready.
Up high in the hills
There lives a cow
Magical, like the lord
Unbelievable like a bird
He will give you goal, give you gold
kill you pain, when you are dold
In the cold, your story will be told
To the world if you urge
Nice you're talented...
