Why Can't Life Just Be Nice? Writer's Cramp Poem Due 4/30/18

Prompt for "The Writer's Cramp" :

Answer the question: "Why can’t life just be nice?"

Why can't life just be nice?
Like when you were little
Dreams, schemes sugar and spice
All rolled into each day?

The answer is simple
Right at the tip, your tongue
People are the wrinkle
Ruining all the fun

Cows graze in the pasture
Happy, sane and content
Not hunting for answers
Pie in the sky bent

So, follow the cow pies
Fragrant perfume, that trail
Beyond where the crow flies
No worries, no voice mail.

Days munching and thinking
Ideas left to write
Making milk while blinking
Sweet dreams mark bovine nights.
