Cows with Eyes in the Back of Their Backs

Get leapt on less by big cats.
That’s a fact. There are good stats.

Daub a large eye on each flank.
Keep your cows and kill less cats.

Let’s think on that. The great beast
Who would like to eat you up

Comes from a long line well-sieved
To sneak round and leap on back.

Flit a fake eye’s lash. This shade
That slips past won’t be your last.
