The cow sees the struggling rat and charges. The rat attempts to flee but his broken back has slowed his movements and before he can reach the shelter of the garbage can the massive cow is upon him. The cow thrusts his head downward and snares the rat and bites it in half. Then, it raises his head, the life blood of the rat flowing from the corner of his mouth, and swallows the thing whole. The cow throws his head back and lets out a throaty moo that can be heard throughout the city. The sound of scampering feet can be heard everywhere as animals run for shelter. And the city is quiet.
As quiet as only this city can be, the city with the stealthy cows. All -- people and animal alive -- lived in fear of being consumed or mauled, yes, mauled, by these beasts of burden, but only the quick, the intelligent, the lucky managed to survive. Yes, some poor ne'er-do-wells managed to escape the massive mouths of the cows, but most ended up lifeless and, eventually, bloodless.
Death was sung in this thriving metrolopolis to the throaty moo of the bull calf and it's mother....

Fat and docile, big and dumb
They look so stupid, they aren't much fun
Cows aren't fun
They eat to grow, grow to die
Die to be et at the hamburger fry
Cows well done
Nobody thunk it, nobody knew
No one imagined the great cow guru
Cows are one
He hid in the forest, read books with great zeal
He loved Che Guevera, a revolutionary veal
Cow Tse Tongue
He spoke about justice, but nobody stirred
He felt like an outcast, alone in the herd
Cow doldrums
He mooed we must fight, escape or we'll die
Cows gathered around, cause the steaks were so high
Bad cow pun
