Cow on the Field

Beneath the spotlights' glare, a hush falls on the night,
Midway through the Super Bowl, a sight both strange and bright.
A bovine ballerina, a moo-ving, moo-ving wonder,
Besstie barges in, udder jiggling, a halftime blunder?

The crowd, aghast, then chuckles rise, a wave of laughter flows,
As Besstie trots across the field, oblivious to the pros.
She sniffs the painted yard lines, a tail flick nonchalant,
Ignoring whistles, shouts, and cheers, a bovine avant-garde.

Security in hot pursuit, a blur of yellow shirts,
But Besstie's got the moves, she jukes, she pirouettes, she flirts.
She dodges tackles, leaps the cones, a hoof-tapping stampede,
The halftime show forgotten, replaced by a moo-ving need.

The players, mesmerized, watch on, helmets askew,
As Bessie steals the spotlight, a star born anew.
She gallops to the goalpost, a triumphant moo she sounds,
And kicks the pigskin sailing high, beyond the stadium bounds.

The crowd erupts in pandemonium, a roar that shakes the sky,
For Besstie's halftime escapade, a memory won't die.
She may not have won the game, but hearts she surely swayed,
The moo-ving halftime miracle, the Super Bowl parade.
