Of course NH has no true "symbol" -- those sneaky people from Vermont ran off with the cow! Probably was done in the middle of the night, too, when our backs were turned and we weren't looking.
And how come we just now noticed? We've had lots of Governors in this state, but it took till just now to notice the cow was missing? Well, I'll have to admit -- I didn't know it was gone either, and I'm usually a pretty observant guy. But heck, I thought the others were watching over it, and so I wasn't paying very close attention and missed all the shenaigans.
We really messed up big-time on that one. NH would have been proud to be known as "Cow Hampshire", I'll bet -- if we had only been given a chance. But it's no use now. I'm not sure I even want the cow back -- it's probably been transformed, or taxed to death or something in Vermont. No good to us any more.
But now I'm pinning my hopes on our great Govn'er and super state legislature. Given all the mental power represented by those great individuals, I'm thinking they're going to come up with something we can be right proud of, I'll bet. And it's gonna probably stun the nation, our symbol-to-be. I just hope no resource is spared in the search for, approval of, and roll-out of the
Great New Hampshire Symbol We've All Been Missing These Many Years.
Go for it, Guv -- you've got our ever-grateful backing on this. I just hope it's better than some stupid cow or something.
