No Bull -- a Poetry Collaboratry -- Belle Bellevue and Gershon Wolf

A fool matador by name of El Cid
Could not control either ego or id
  Turned his back on the bull
  Felt a rude tug, hard pull
Two horns split his tights down the seams, they did

One should never turn his back on a bull
Unless, of course, one's extremely skillful
  Bulls are fierce and large
  For certain they'll charge
Just to get a yummy good bellyful



        ~  B.B. and G.W. ~

I agree with Tom with the disclaimer - no person was hurt in the making of this limerick ;)
