Poem
Pappy Brisco was a clown who insisted never to frown, he painted his face with a smile, the broadest grin to beguile, his bushy eyebrows glued on tight, which sometimes caused a fright, a bright-red protruding nose added to his exaggerated pose, he stretched his wig of blond curly locks, covering his bald head looking like a field of flocks. At a young age he wanted to be a rodeo clown saving cowboys in case they fell down, being chased by a brahma bull, gave him a thrill that was so full of dreams of being applauded before a rowdy crowd who lauded his bravery and skill of being nimble to defy the most meanest and burliest symbol. One day Pappy met Diablo the most feared bull around, he was a cross-eyed masculine bovine who hated being bound, freedom was what he wanted not the rodeo and its gate, he'd get rid of that cowboy on his back and mark his fate, bucking off the contender gave him some pride, as his eyes narrowed like two slits he saw how Pappy tried to distract him from crushing the man on the ground, Diablo snorted and ran as if he was the speed of sound, chasing Pappy till he looked up and saw pretty Maisy-Daisy the Jersey cow sauntering toward him and mooing like crazy, off they went to look for greener pastures and leaving everyone wondering what happened to Diablo's heart which once was mean and would stomp a man apart. Now Pappy Brisco is still a clown and he works at birthday parties carrying balloons and a bat in case he meets up with Diablo out in the field, knowing this time he is well armed and will not yield.
