LITTLE BLACK BULL
Bornin bobbing clover hay,July sun at close of day—Black and gleaming little bullAppetite all masterful.Scarcely dried—his glossy silk,When he started in to milk,Tongue a-smack and bulging tum,Filled at last—his vacuum.Soft blue hoofs and knobby pegsSoon were prancing just like legs;Got him weaned till bran he tookLike a codfish bolts a hook,Till he danced in sheer delight,Till he waxed in youthful might.Dawn of day and forth he wentFor adventure—jubilant;Innocent and wondering eyes,All the world a glad surprise,Then they drove him down the hillIn a crate—and wondering still;Wondering as the world went by,Green of trees and blue of sky,What adventure—joyous, new,Little bull was going to.
