About Milk in Glass Bottles
M is for milk, so creamy and good,
I is indulgent, it tastes like it should.
L is for luscious, smooth, tasty and sweet,
K is for keeping, fresh all the week.

I is important, so vitamin full,
N is the nutrients, so good for us all.

G is for glass bottles, they have a clear sheen,
L is for lustrous, the way they are seen,
A is amazing, that wonderful taste,
Sealed in a bottle that does not go to waste.
S is for super, the best milk to savor,

B is for bursting with tons of flavor.
O is opinion, here’s what I think,
That milk in glass bottles is the best to drink.
That nothing compares, this is not a jest,
Longmont, our dairy, is really the best.
E is efficient, they’re always on time,
S is for serviceable, they are really prime!

About milk in glass bottles,
Here is what I think.
Milk in glass bottles,
Is the best to drink!!!

The Milkman
The milkman full throttle,
To deliver the bottle,
That contains the cream,
For which we all dream.

Made out of glass,
It’s always first class,
Brought to you weekly,
So perfect and neatly.

In the north, south, east, or west,
Longmont Dairy is named the best,
And it’s not just milk that comes to your door,
There’s juice and cheese and lots, lots more.

And if you run out,
Don’t mope and pout,
Never fear,
The milkman is here!!!!

Message for a bottle
Longmont Dairy uses glass bottles and I think that’s very cool,
I drink their milk all the time, before and after school.

The glass keeps the milk fresh with a great taste
And most importantly there’s no waste.

Whenever I hear the milkman come, I smile in my sleep,
Knowing that when I wake there’ll be a breakfast treat.

I hope the glass bottle tradition continues forever more
And every time I pour a cup I wonder what new traditions Longmont Dairy has in store.

NO PLASTIC!
I like the milk that comes
From Longmont Dairy Farm
Only glass, there is no plastic,
So there is no harm

A lot of people don’t recycle
So plastic litters the ground
Only glass should be used
There shouldn’t be plastic around

Plastic leaches into milk
Unlike jars of glass
When milk is stored inside glass jars
It has a taste that lasts

Longmont Dairy Farm
Delivers milk that’s yummy
Now take the milk from its jar
And put it in you TUMMY!

More Great Poetry!

Milk in a Glass Bottle
In a bottle in the fridge
It stick out of the crowd
While others blend together
Behind the glass, it is a soft snow

In a bottle on the counter
The glass is hit by the sun
It shines like a beautiful beacon
Waiting, waiting to be poured

In a bottle in my hand
It is cold yet warm
The feel of soon tasting
The milk in a glass bottle

Milk, That’s What I Say
Milk in a glass, a tradition, I wouldn’t have anything else
In a box, in a sock, up on a hill, oh dear
In a glass that comes to your house everyday, a cow that you milk to have your milk and do all the work, what a scandal, what an outrage
What’s that you say…milk in anything else, but a glass bottle, no, no, I say I won’t have it I won’t.
It’ll have to leave, ship it away, take it back, ‘cause I won’t have anything but milk in a glass bottle, that’s what I say.

Milk in Glass Bottles
Milk in glass bottles
I think, it’s great, it’s wonderful for models
Any person can plainly see
Milk is way better than tea
Milk in bottles is very swell
Take just one sip and you can tell
Milk in a bottle to me is grand
I just wanna remove the glass from my hand
So I can float
And gloat
About the mouth watering taste Longmont Dairy’s milk provides

Things That are Unique to Longmont Dairy
Here are a few things unique to Longmont Dairy
They drop milk off quietly like a fairy
All my life Longmont Dairy has quenched my thirst
I’m sure I’m not the first
To say how good milk tastes
Their milk looks great on the waist
What can I say besides Longmont dairy is great
On a scale of 1-5 they get an 8
Longmont Dairy is so unique
Most of all I love their many techniques!

Miracle
That such beauty
Would ever exist in
Milk

Elixer
The clear bottles
Appear white in the clear
Dawn

Uniquness
Is what they feed
The cows, for I feel such
Bliss

I sit down
At my table
And consume miracles
Milk

Ariel W., 6th Grade, Sierra Elementary, Arvada

Longing for that sweet milk
Oh so sweet, oh so tasty
Need some of that milk
Give it to me
Milk, milk, milk
Oh that milk, drink it
Night an day
That milk will carry me away

Down to Australia up to
Asia
In to
Russia
You know Longmont Dairy is so unique you crave milk, and
they deliver, that good old Longmont

A Tale of Milk
That bold, brave milk
in it’s wonderful glass bottle
that bold, brave milk
shine it up, look at it glimmer, and glitter like no other suit of armor
It may not have a sword, but it fights in other ways, in the way of health
Oh… that bold, brave milk, Sir Mooing-milk

It’s the Best
Milk in glass bottles
Avery good thing
Keeps it much colder,
And that sort of thing,
If you’re like me,
And you know what’s cool
Then you should know that glass bottles rule.

Milk from Longmont Dairy,
It’s really the best,
It tastes so much better,
Much better than all the rest,
My friend said, and this is true,
That she didn’t like milk
Oh what should I do?
I gave her some milk from those jolly glass bottles
What did she do?
She liked it she said,
But not just any milk,
It was the milk from Longmont Dairy,
And I do like it myself

So whenever my friend
Comes over to call,
She drinks that good milk,
And she drinks it all
But that’s not completely true,
I helped her a bit,
So whatever you do,
You’ve gotta have that special milk,
And you’ve gotta have it cold,
In glass bottles as fresh as can be,
And Longmont Dairy is the only place it’s sold!

Perfect Milk
Longmont Dairy has the best milk
I have never tasted such a fine treat,
For it comes in glass bottles
And glass doesn’t give it a flavor,
We get four gallons each and every week,
It comes in one percent,
It comes in two percent,
I have even gotten it in whole, half, and no percent,
It is as white and as pure,
As snow could ever be,
I can drink it all day long,
And I can do it for cheap,
If I get Longmont Dairy milk.

Riley G., 6th grade, Home schooled, Louisville

Longmont Dairy the Milk King
Have you ever tried the milk from a cow
Did you ever have to let out a scream
I have tried it and you’ll want some right now
Scream because you want Longmont Dairy cream
Did you know they come in big glass jugs
I have a huge stomach so milk I need
I drink them in those small plastic red mugs
The milk of Longmont Dairy makes me greed
I’ve never had milk so creamy and new
If I had a cow so good then hey, hey
The cows that are milk white and black that moo
But I can’t get as good as them, ney
So hey go buy them they come with good price
They even deliver so get it nice

Milkman
Who can take the sunrise and wake us up with milk.
The milkman.
The milkman can.
Who can take the sunrise and wake us up with milk.
The milkman.
The milkman can.
He mixes it with calcium and makes the world taste good
Who can take a glass and fill it up with glee.
The milkman.
The milkman can.
He makes the world taste good cause he says so.

Milk in Glass Bottles
I love milk in a glass bottle
I can see it so pure and white;
I just gotta hit the throttle,
For the taste is a delight,
“Milk in a glass”
Now that’s first class!

Morning
Crystal clear outer shell
Makes me feel so powerful
When I pull you out of your box
I feel your wet cold-water drops
As I bring you inside
I feel the milk swaying from side to side
Then I set you down to drink
Pondering what your crisp taste will be
As I pull open your top
My heart takes a big hop
Next I pour you inot my glass
Saying to myself “At last”
Then I take a sip and smile
What a rush what a rush just like the Nile
This is by far my favorite time of day
I hope Longmont Dairy is here to stay!

Dazzling Glass Bottles
The glass bottles Longmont Dairy has are not bad,
They do not make people mad.
Those glass bottles keep it fresh,
Other kinds make a mess.
Everyone says they are so great.
All the competitors say, “No wait.”
Those keep-fresh bottles dazzle,
And the milk makes people razzle-dazzled.
I want that milk that is so great,
Thanks Longmont Dairy for that taste.

Yummy Dairy
Yellow lids top my favorite milk
Under the lid is white milk from cows,
Milk from Longmont Dairy farm,
Milk that is better than any I’ve tasted,
Yelling for more, milk in the glass.
