The Life of a Bull

The life of a bull is never dull I am always kept on the hop Told to go from cow to cow - There's never a chance to stop The life of a bull is never dull The finest food I am always eating And my cousins in Spain, it's very plain Give the matadors a beating The life of a bull is never dull So, I never get in a strop I write the odd song and a poem or two Though, I admit, this one's over the top The life of a bull is never dull I am the king of the herd Treat me well and I'll breed for your every need It's a pleasure to keep my word The life of a bull is never dull I graze to the sound of hip-hop Just one lesson to heed, for your sake I plead… Keep me away from your china shop

Ahh...yes indeed: "A sniff of the grass". As any horny old bull will tell you - "It is always greener on the other side of the hill - Because it is mainly fed on bullshit"! My best regards, David, for you certainly put a smile back on my creased old face tonight. :) john

You've covered it all, and from the viewpoint of the bull, a china shop is just another obstacle to overcome. Enjoyable read, David.
