Purple Cow (anagram of upper & cl + ow)

[foxspur]

Thanks dannyk, why purple cow - it did seem to be the only fit but I'd never heard of it!

[foxspur]

I see now, it's a poem by Gelett Burgess!

[sandyRoe]

I've never seen a purple cow
I hope I never see one
But I'd rather see than be one

Is that it?

[foxspur]

It is indeed, sandy
