Year of the Ox

Chinese New Year time of year.


The year of the rat is ending.
Did it seem like a ratty year?
I think maybe it did.

The year of the ox is upon us.
The ox.
Not a very sexy sounding year.


The golden pig, that was kind of barnyard sexy.


But we are talkin ox here.
Oxen.
Very practical animals.
Good for pulling heavy loads and musky scents.
Steady, slow moving, the ox.
Perhaps that is what we need in a year.
