Ohhh....The Riddler is back! Speaking in tongues, or perhaps cryptic coded eldritch metaphor? So mysterious - Swedish cow, little calfies, "chosen" children! A riddle wrapped within an enigma, or maybe just wrapped in tripe, like a bacon-limburger-menudo slider.
Here's one -
Harley MS 7316; dating from approximately 1730Q: As I was going to St Ives,
Upon the road I met seven wives;
Every wife had seven sacks,
Every sack had seven cats,
Every cat had seven kits:
Kits, cats, sacks, and wives,
How many were going to St Ives?A: Why the deuce do you give yourselves so much vexation,
And puzzle your brains with a long calculation
Of the number of cats, with their kittens and sacks,
Which went to St Ives, on the old women's backs,
As you seem to suppose? — Don't you see that the cunning
Old Querist went only? — The rest were all coming.
But grant the wives went too, — as sure's they were married,
Eight only could go, — for the rest were all carried." A verse reply from "Philo-Rhithmus" of Edinburgh, in the September 8, 1779 issue of the Weekly Magazine. "

Personally, I'm not seeing the whole "cow" thing. I think it's "udderly" irrational....
