The bull was proud, tough and strong
The field was his to stride upon
His horns, his power and bony death
To those who watched not where they stepped
With a furious trumpet and terrible gore
This rampant bull raged and tore
Till one day the rancher wove a trick
Though he fought, the rope was much to thick
Penned and dazed the hot knife cut
The bull dearmed was left to rut
In dusty earth, on defenseless ground
A broken creature in sadness bound
Irony though shall have her way
As now so long since that hard day
Somewhere a gilded horn is raised
And the mighty bull in strength is praised
