The Discarded Bull

The Bull,

it slipped and fell one day,

while tilling the land.

The Bull,

it tilled the land for close to a decade,

helping it flourish

from barren land

to fertile farm land,

growing green leafy vegetables

and succulent fruits.

Together, working paw in hand,

the animals and the Old Farmer built up a prosperous farm.

But times changed,

and sell the farm the Old Farmer had to,

after a White Knight turned out to be Dark Knight.

Life was never the same again.

Animals, previously harmonious,

started finding fault with each other

and almost stopped working together.

Fractured the team was,

eroded was the esprit de corps.

With a heavy heart,

the Bull knew what was forthcoming for him ...
as happened with others.

The next day,

shipped the Bull was,

out of the farm ...

and immediately, in came a strapping young bull.

The animals, who went through thick and thin,

saw it with sad eyes and a ladened heart.

While miles away,

the Old Farmer stared into the air,

his chair rocking in a melancholy rhythm.
