Easter 2012

Easter Day 2012

Springtime and the leafy green
Has climbed back up to top the hills,
And four little calves are at play
In the valley, in the field.
Their curly, baby bangs
Are pristine and white.
They see it all with
Large, liquid eyes.

Today's sunrise brought a surprise!
The truck pulled up.
The four friends trotted in.
Was a new adventure about to begin?

But...

First the slamming — a door of steel,
And now this long and winding road.
Four little buddies with fates that are sealed.
Veal! Veal! Veal! Veal!
