My Willie's Not Small Anymore

I once won a lucky drawing When at the local county fair I won a small calf of my own A prize like that, they say is rare He was so small, I was worried Will he live or will he not So I decided to name him Willie And though small, he ate a lot! My Willie's not small anymore He's so big he's hard to pull And now he weighs four hundred pounds I think that is a lot of bull!

G'day Pat … you have brought back a still talked about childhood memory. A neighbour's bucket raised calf turned into a fearless bull who kept all us kids well and truly in order. His name was Teddy - thanks PAT - Lindsay
