Family Roster
I wonder, did you ever know
that the mighty buffalo
and the bison (but not the sow)
are qualified to join the cow
as animals that we opine
should be listed as bovine?
Goats and sheep are also cast
as Bovindae, as is the last
animal in this family,
which is the oxen. So you see
all the animals the cow
shares its family name with now!
The prompt word, of course, was bovine!

Cute lesson in middle school biology; I wish teachers used rhymed mnemonics like that!
