My papa held me up to the Moo Cow Moo So close I could almost touch,
And I fed him a couple of times or so,
And I wasn't a fraidy-cat, much.

But if my papa goes in the house,
And my mamma she goes in too,
I keep still like a little mouse
For the Moo Cow Moo might Moo.

The Moo Cow's tail is a piece of rope
All ravelled out where it grows;
And it's just like feeling a piece of soap
All over the Moo Cow's nose.

And the Moo Cow Moo has lots of fun
Just switching his tail about,
But if he opens his mouth, why then I run,
For that's where the Moo comes out.
In stanza 3, the poet's use of a metaphor suggests that-
a. You can tie up a cow with its tail
b. The cow's tail looks like a piece of rope coming apart
c. The cow's tail is long and crown like rope
d. The cow's nose is slippery like a bar of soap
