Sense Sonnet - Steamer

 Cow Conspiracy


Catherine O' Leary, my name

Became famous in history,

The Great Chicago Fire the blame,

Was reported to be on me,

Because a cow my family had

Was on our barn being milked by

Me, when a cow kicking went bad,

Knocked over a lantern and I

Supposedly just let the fire

Spread out and cause the burning down,

As neighbors and others conspire,

Most of all of Chicago town.


The Great Chicago Fire, the source?

Mrs. O' Leary's cow, of course!
