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

David,
This reminds me of those wonderful Spanish Bull runs that give the old snorting thunderers a sporting chance for revenge.

(The life of a bull Is never dull
humping buxom female bovine.
But It`s far more fun
Chasing human bum
In the blazin` Spanish sunshine).
