For my friends suffering the bully's blows; I hope to bring some smiles. Little known fact about me, not much into spectator sports, but I do love the PBR! (Pro Bull Riding) Something about the primal man vs nature theme, in it's truest and simplest form; with nature kicking some serious butt! Just eight seconds, can you hang on?

I'd like to see the bullies Ride a real bull; For fractions of eight seconds Their due time is paid in full.

WOW! That sure is a powerful write. It takes a lot of strength to stand up to a bully, but someone has to do it. Hugs, dear.

- The only bull I know and like is: "Ferdinand the Bull" ... he who sits under the tree ... smell the flowers ... he does not want to participate in bullfights :) - But I know several "bullies" ... some come ... others must leave - hugs // Anne-Lise :)

I've tried the mechanical bull at the bar after a few drinks. That's all i need to remind me never to be a bully. Another great poem Maureen!

Who knows? Maybe the bull-riding would be a great way to release pent-up anger.

I imagine just about anything and everything could be released hanging on to a bucking bull ;)

Bravo Maureen sadly I see bullies castigating people they claim are bullies yet they themselves are far from being squeaky clean. No riding bulls for me lol:-) hugs jan xx

I get the point of your poem, Maureen, but some "sports" just show off the stupidity of some men. Also like the one about life, death, and everything. Thanks for the stop and best to you in your writing endeavors. / M

I have watched the PBR when they came through here. They are amazing Mo... I doubt they could ride and we'd be smelling more than bull crap.

*giggle* so true! I have yet to see the PBR live, on my bucking bucket list! Cheers Tim :)

Ha ha, Mo. They'd need two hands for bull riding. One to hold the rope and the other to keep their balance. It doesn't take 8 seconds to leave an ugly comment on someone's poem. Well written and thoughts expressed.

A smile! Success! Thank you Lin :)
