2021: /// Though she makes cheese, the girl rarely ate it.
But you won’t hear her saying “I hate it.”
She avoids ice cream, too.
All things dairy— taboo.
It’s the lactose; she can’t tolerate it!

2021: /// The dread creature Doc Frankenstein fashioned
had no livelihood— much too impassioned.
Both the bolts in his neck
were contrived as low-tech,
and attachments, (if any), were rationed.
/// But the creature’s helpmate has a trade.
Her design allows her to get paid.
Bolted into her throat
is a yoke. You will note,
she was made an ideal dairy-maid.

After she’s done bringing in the milk, Mary is going to go out and plow the fields.

My original comment: It wasn’t much later when they invented the ox.

2021 (edited and augmented): /// Because of the yoke which she wore,
neck and shoulders are constantly sore.
And the yoke is so wide
she must turn to one side
when she enters or exits a door.
/// Does it injure the dairy maid’s pride
when she exits, to turn to the side?
She’s not risking contusions,
for her fleshy protrusions,
fore and aft, aren’t nearly as wide.

2021: /// Staid Joanna is never dismayed.
Never wild, overjoyed or afraid.
For her husband ensured
that to work she’s inured.
Now Joanna’s a Stepford milkmaid.
/// She’s expressionless— no smiles or nods.
Won’t sell milk to us. What are the odds
that the whole human race
grows extinct from this place.
All her milk cans hold alien pods!

2021: /// Though she didn’t much like being yoked,
the broke yokel who yoked her was stoked.
When obscenely he joked,
the strong maid was provoked.
With her yoke he was choked ‘til he croaked.

2021: /// Those milk-cans which hang from wooden holders,
when filled up are as heavy as boulders.
But the maid isn’t stressed.
After work she gets dressed
in an ‘80’s gown (extra-wide shoulders).
/// Eighteen-eighty’s the date, it is true,
but all fashion repeats, never new.
She attracts local lads
with her wood shoulder-pads.
Will a Dynasty prequel ensue?

/// Perhaps the artwork’s quite new,
Or used at one time or two,
But please be a dear,
Let the true name appear,
Before your first stanza is through.

She is pumping her traps and her quads/
In the hope of improving the odds/
That her perfect physique/
At contest time will “peak”/
And will win her the judges’ nods ..

Ethyl was allowed only one pumping break at work, so she made the best of it.

A peculiar genetic mutation caused the collar bones of French milkmaids to grow straight out.
