I could not locate the cow parody but I did find a wonderful Ogden
Nash parody and though you might enjoy it:

I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree
Indeed, unless the billboards fall
I’ll never see a tree at all.

Somehow I seem to remember the "cows" parody as having been in "Mad"
Magazine many, many years ago.

Short of finding that particular one, I'm sure that, for the
price you've offered, there are several researchers clever
enough to make one up for you. Just a thought.

bobmahlstedt...

Just to give you some idea of what you might expect
if you were to revise your question to accept a
custom-written poem about cows, parodying Ms. Kilmer,
I penned this for you:

               ====
               BUSH
               ====

To THINK that I should find my tush
amidst the poem they call a bush.

A poem with branches stiff, unbending...
Poking, prodding my rear-ending.

A bush with thorns that tear and rend
The glutei of my back end.

A bush that makes arising painful,
and makes passers-by disdainful,

Lest, in helping me (to free me)
They, in turn, will look to be me.

Falls can come from those who push,
But pain comes from the g*****n bush!

Oops! I've just had a lifelong bit of misinformation corrected
by a fellow researcher. Joyce Kilmer was not a 'Ms'. His full
name was Alfred Joyce Kilmer, but he never used his first name.
