 Barb Wire

Farmers and ranchers long desire

To fence the property they own.

Most economical is wire

To indicate do not cross zone.

In the 1800's wild west

Cattle biz in the U.S.A.,

It was found that barb wire was best

So cattle would not roam astray.

Just wire alone the cattle could

Easily press against and through,

And with such will the cattle would.

So the stringing of barb wire grew.

When barb wire was pushed by a cow,

Resulting prick did bring an "Ow!"
