A bull tore through the china shop Enraged and snorting as he went 'Twas blinded to the havoc wrought, Continued thus 'till he was spent. The cause of all this rage, you ask? It seems he snagged a nasty splinter Carousing through the briar patch In mindless search of his next dinner. When sense returned he nursed his wound While plucking the offending thorn Assessing damage done to him, The briar patch he hath forsworn. He wiped the tears he shed then said, “I acted hastily, no doubt, Inflicting pain upon myself”, Then slammed the door on his way out. Yet to the bull it did not matter That china shop's completely shattered. [This message has been edited by Denise (edited 11-06-2001).] |

"Snort," said the bull with a tear in his eye And a frown on his face as he breathed a soft sigh. "I should have thought more 'fore I charged through that shop So angry and letting my hooves clop clop clop." So the bull went back to the shop, now shattered For inside his conscience, it really did matter Now the bull stand outside the shop on the walk And attracts varied customers from many a block! OK, so it's cheesy, but it was fun to write. Now if only we could get people to do this.....  God bless America, my home sweet home. |
