20 - The Calf

a bull-calf
offering determined resistance
to the fiercest foe.
Fighting bulls
will rush
with dreadful bellowing
to meet the enemy
and should it be
mighty lion
or daring monster,
sacrifice
in defence of the herd.
"Hear what a low
muttering noise he makes!
I shall call him Grumble!"
pg 140 - 141
