A Purple Cow

Dear Reader,

I was reminded of this poem suddenly while I was driving back home. I still cannot figure out what brought out the association in my mind since I'm very sure I didn't see a purple cow (not even a regular one). May be I saw someone who stood out like a purple cow!! Anyway, it's a very short poem with a funny and interesting twist to it at the end.

"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 last time I heard this was from one of my well read friends and I swear, I didn't see him today!!
