            A LITTLE BULL                                  

This story is of three bulls 
All of a bovine breed, 
Who were traveling the desert together 
In search of a little feed. 
When on a knoll they came upon a meadow 
A spring had made, 
With bright green grass 
And trees about
That allowed for a little shade. 
Now the largest of the three bulls 
Bowed his neck and some snot was blown, 
Which was warning enough 
For the smaller two 
That he wanted this place for his own. 
So now there's just two bulls traveling 
In search of a place to stop 
To fill up on green grass and water, 
Which they found on a mountaintop. 
Now, this place suited both bulls to a tee. 
But, as oft happens, as history will show, 
The larger one thumped the smaller one good, 
So back to the trail he did go.
Now, there's a moral to this story, 
One I hope we'll learn today. 
And it's that sometimes 
A little bull will go a long, long way.
