Read the poem “The Purple Cow,” by Gelett Burgess.

The Purple Cow
(Reflections on a Mythic Beast Who's Quite Remarkable, at Least.)

I never saw a Purple Cow;
I never hope to See One;
But I can Tell you, Anyhow,
I'd rather See than Be One.

What is the main similarity between “The Purple Cow” and Frost’s poem "Mending Wall"?
Both use humorous language.
Both use iambic pentameter.
Both use blank verse.
Both use strict meter.
