A Domesticated Bull

      A  Domesticated Bull.                      

They  trained  the  bull  for  years,

In  good   earnest  and  novel  forte,

In   hard  rigour   and  vigour,

To be  supple  and  brisk,

Domesticated, to  obey  their  will,

In the  hot  sun, it was  trained

To   follow   donkey’s

Practice of   carrying load

Of  clothes  to  be  washed 

By  the  accepting  river, seasoned

To  wash  and  dry  by  the  bed

Of  the  sands. All  along  the  bull

Stands  afar, ruminates ,waits

To  be fed  with   plantain   leaves

And  fruits. No longer  a  Spanish

Bull but dutiful, domesticated.

All in   the  training.
