Cows make milk… |
Full lyrics to the
song: Cows make milk, cows make milk, cows make milk and we're glad they do.
Some people are so dumb, they're dumb as people come, cows make milk, cows
make milk, cows make milk and we're glad they do. Take
a cow for instance, any cow for instance, cows make milk, cows make milk,
cows make milk and we're glad they do |

It’s Wet. Eat More Wool |
Strategy developed
during the Spring snow courses of the early ‘70s. If food helps to keep you
warm and wool is warm when wet, then eating wool is a twofer. |
