The Bull

There are no more shackles and no more chains The muzzle is gone, like Trump’s derailed train Naptime is over, and this bulldog is up When will you learn to behave, you silly pup If you keep poking the dog, he will take a bite You should be aware he’s not afraid to fight This growling dog is not your average hound He patrols day and night, guarding this ground And doesn’t care if the so-called law was sent His opinions, like yours, are fetid excrement I think you two make quite a querulous pair You both stir the soup pot and blow hot air You’re not great poets, I’ve seen your best If you mess with the bull… you know the rest.

Ya know, if they could write decent poetry they'd be spending more time doing so instead of complaining about vaccines and the government. Why didn't they write about how their beloved President called the virus a hoax and wanted people to cleanse themselves of it by drinking bleach. Yeah, that was great leadership, and they want to crucify Biden. Glad you're back, Mark.

Too many are just praising a mad man and can't see the truth.

Can't believe this is still going on, other sites are policed properly and offenders kicked off the site, admin needs to get a grip. Tom

Your right it's not poetry Mark, it's just blind hateful insults, from the comfort of the living room, with nothing else to offer as usual, wrestlemania has more credibility, another barnstormer, and I fully enjoyed the message, cheers David

Mark, I'm so saddened that you are experiencing this kind of behavior. Having just come through some bulls**t myself (along with three others) I'm wondering if your nemeses are the same as ours, but I don't think so. I don't think I've gotten any "snotty comments" lately...at least directly. Oh, well...we stand with you!

I’m sure there are those that won’t like this one a bit. If it is acceptable for them to act like trolls and idiots then it should be acceptable for me to point it out. Thanks David!

Fine couplets, my friend. I enjoyed your poem immensely. I'm not afraid to stir soup pot now and then and I don't consider it a negative thing to do, but I strongly refrain from blowing "hot air," (chuckling) as much as possible! Good writing, Mark.

Thanks Milt, the two blowhards I’m referring to blow a lot of hot air

These two fools like stumbling around on our stoops leaving snotty comments. I’m thinking a lot of people are sick of it. Thanks Jan!
