Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Blameless Cow?

1871 did be

Year of the Great Chicago Fire.

The cow of Mrs. O'Leary

Became the cause that did acquire

Longstanding repeat as a fact.

But there is evidence to say

The cow did not commit the act.

The Biela's comet that day

Sprayed meteorites that suggest

Why a lot of fires broke out in

Many places in the Midwest,

Maybe Chicago - might have been.

The comet not the cow could claim

To be a better source for blame.
