David Lindsay Poet Rhyme

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

John Fleming July 30, 2016 at 2:30 PM 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 David Lindsay July 31, 2016 at 6:35 PM Glad it brought a smile, thanks.

Reason A. Poteet July 30, 2016 at 2:07 PM You've covered it all, and from the viewpoint of the bull, a china shop is just another obstacle to overcome. Enjoyable read, David. David Lindsay July 31, 2016 at 6:34 PM Thanks a lot :)
