The Verbal Warring Bulls

Of a barbed wire fence and two elecric fences they stand on either side

And bellow loudly at each other in anger and pride

The black and white friesian bull and the black angus bull every day carry out their verbal war

They bellow themselves hoarse and no winner at bellowing thus far

Of the electrical fences they have received shocks seems obviously clear

And of  the wire that divide them they do not venture too near

The electrical fences far more than each other they does seem to fear

The only reason to each other they cannot go too near

At each other they angrily bellow and with their hooves scrape the ground

And in a show of defiance scatter clods around

In the verbal war that goes on between them every day

There is not a winner or it does seem this way

Every day they angrily bellow at each other until they run out of breath

If they could get to each other they would fight to the death

But the reason they cannot have an all out war is not hard to explain

As the fear of a shock from the electrical fences with them does remain.
