The Exploring Cow
A cow travels into the Milky Way
And suddenly says Hooray!
She jumps over the moon
Singing a tune
About a floating balloon.
She explores the planets
And finds some hammocks
Perfectly sitting on the moon.
She called her friends at Longmont Dairy
They said they would be there soon.
She finds a place to have a race
They all ran at a fast pace.
She was so happy she threw a party
Where they ate some berries and Smarties.
After a while she was getting tired
And then she was inspired
To go to the hammock
Where she napped then had a big panic
About what would happen the next day
Exploring the Milky Way

COW GOES TO MOOOO-N
What would cows do if they went into space?
They would say "moo" and take a selfie of their face.
They might dance and float on Mars,
Or fly on rocket cars.
They might see a robot on an asteroid,
Eating chicken wings that he enjoyed.
They even could see a fairy,
And at the end, they'd go back down to Longmont Dairy.
Bye

3rd Place – Eleanor B. (2nd Grade)
Up in space, where the moon rises,
There are many, many big surprises.
There are some Longmont cows up there,
Just having fun floating through the air.
Whee! Across the sky they zip!
All of them sure love to flip!
They fly together past the stars,
Around Venus and then Mars!
They all had fun in space that day,
But now they're hungry for some hay!

A Cow Living in Space
A cow living in space
Was solving a case
Of a missing place
On a milky planet
She was looking for grass
She needed it fast
For she wouldn't last
Without grass
She heard a loud cry
I was an astronaut guy
He was stuck up high
Save him, she must try
She got him at last
He gave her some grass
She ate it up fast
The milk came in a blast!
Oh no! It spilled in the sky
The cow tried and tried
The cow cried and cried
The milk flied and flied

Nolan S. (2nd Grade)
Zooming through Space
A cow in Outer Space
Would have such a quick pace.
He would zoom to the Milky Way
and have such a fun day!
Next he saw a star
But he got too close and got a scar.
He saw the Moon
That had a cocoon.
He went to Mars
And got some cars.
He drove around
Something not yet found.
He got in his Mustang
And drove around Planet Bang (a fake planet).
When he got there, he sang!
Then he drove away
from the Milky Way.

In a far away universe,
Away from the stars,
There lived a fat cow,
Who called his home Mars.
He had black and white spots,
And was hungry for food,
But the grass wouldn't grow,
Which ruined his mood.
Then he remembered,
The moon was made out of cheese,
Which made him quite happy,
And pleasantly pleased!
He went to the moon,
And gobbled it up!
He was thirsty for milk,
But had no luck!
But then he saw the Longmont Dairy truck!
It delivered the goods straight to his door,
And when he got home,
Milk galore!
The end!

Journey to the Milky Way!
My cow is in the barn tonight
He's cooking up a plan
He's off to see the Milky Way
He's getting in his van
He's scaling Rocky Mountains
And roaming desert dunes
He's hopping in a rocket ship
It's true! Cows do jump over the moon!
Now when he lands
He'll cross the stars
He'll spy the Milky Way
And catch it in a jar
And when my cow awakes from sleep
He'll say well that was bizarre!
And then he'll see his Milky Way
Sitting in a jar.

If Cows Lived in the Milky Way
If cows lived in the Milky Way,
They would say "We traveled from the U.S.A",
Then they would eat some cake,
Then fish in a Milky Way lake,
They would be in space,
They would have a race.
If an astronaut came and said, "Who are you?"
Then the cow would say "Moo moo,
I brought a canoe."
So they sailed on through,
They went back,
The cows ate pizza out of the food sack,
The cows were from the U.S.A,
And were proud to live in the Milky Way.

Cows In Space
There was a cow that went to space
It had never been to such a grand place
The shuttle there was anything but good
None of the rockets worked as they should
The boosters were really old
And the crew cows never did as they were told
When they got to the moon stars shone bright
It was a beautiful night
Mars was all way to scary
There was no sign of Longmont Dairy
Pluto was cold and not a planet
The cows chose they were going to can it
Jupiter was nothing but gas
The cows decided they were going to pass
The trip was more than the cows could carry
So they went home and enjoyed Longmont Dairy

I wish I may I wish I might
See the cows in the Milky Way tonight
Because the stars are so bright
I won't be able to see their flight
When they float by the moon
I would hope to see them soon
The cows float and play all day
But when it goes dark they don't have a word to say
In their dreams they dance through the Milky Way again
I don't know if they live in a pen
Or if they just stay in the sky
What I do know is that they fly high

Cows In Space
What would cows do
If they went to space?
One thing they would do
Is go up there and race.
They chase one another
Around all the stars
Starting at Saturn and
Ending on Mars.
Another thing cows do
when they go into space,
is spin and flip
with elegance and grace.
With no gravity to
Stay on the ground,
They do amazing things,
Without taking a bound!
The last thing cows would do
When they go into space,
Is gaze at the galaxy
A glowing look on their face.
The stars and planets
Mixed with purple and pink
So beautiful they can hardly blink
There are no reasons
Why cows go to space,
Who wouldn't want to?
It's a wonderful place.

Milk Route through the Milky Way
Out past the planets and drifting comets' spray,
There's a quiet little pasture in the Milky Way.
But these cows are busy, make no mistake
There out on a mission for goodness sake,
Because way out there in the stellar sky,
They work for Longmont Dairy, flying high.
Their barn's a comet, their fence a light,
Their delivery routes span from daytime to night.
They fill up bottles with creamy beams,
From their swirling rivers of milky dreams.
Then off they launch in rocket pails,
Past the bright suns glow and comet trails.
Down through the clouds and morning dew,
To ship fresh milk to your door for you!

A Milky Way Story
Scientists have pondered at this question for years:
How have cows wondered about the galaxies with no fear?
One in particular stood out from the rest,
A tiny black cow with a soft milk white chest.
It leaps and bounds between galaxies afar,
From here to there, visiting each glowing star!
He seemed sort of lonely, apart from the others;
So the scientists sent him robot cow, to act as a brother!
They would adventure together as the little cow grew,
Making his own universe as new!
In his wake, his milky white trail,
He created the milky way with the flick of his tail!
Then he lived out his life,
With his silver bot brother and sweet spotted wife.

4th Place – Lizzie R. (6th Grade)
Cows of the Milky Way
What would cows do if they went into space?
I think they'd have a space race
to see who could jump over the moon,
and they wouldn't come home before noon.
Or maybe they would have a dance-off,
to see who could rule the trough,
but they would be wise to avoid aches,
otherwise the dairy would be selling milkshakes.
The cows might jump from constellation to constellation,
taking a lot of their concentration,
but being worth it in the end
to see a beautiful picture ascend.
Because the dish that ran away with the spoon
would splash in a Milky Way lagoon
to convince the cows that it isn't a fallacy
to have the greatest race in the galaxy.

4 Cows in Space
4 cows went up to space one day,
To have a picnic, sing and play.
Their names were Bob and Freddy,
And with them went Nellie and Teddy.
They brought some cake and stuff to drink,
And some sausages in a link.
They found their place
Way up in space,
To have a fun picnic.
But to their dismay,
Their food started floating around the Milk Way.
You would think they'd go after it in a hurry,
But they still had their Thai curry.
So Bob held it tight
And they sipped it through the night.
The end.
