THE PURPLE COW

by: Gelett Burgess (1866-1951)

I NEVER saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one;
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I'd rather see than be one.

"The Purple Cow" is reprinted from A Nonsense Anthology. Ed. Carolyn Wells. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1915.

 

THE PURPLE COW: SUITE

by: Gelett Burgess (1866-1951)

AH, Yes! I Wrote the "Purple Cow" --
I'm Sorry, now, I Wrote it!
But I can Tell you Anyhow,
I'll Kill you if you Quote it!

"The Purple Cow: Suite" is reprinted from The Burgess Nonsense Book Being a Complete Collection of the Humorous Masterpieces of Gelett Burgess. Gelett Burgess. New York: Frederick A. Stokes, 1901.
