Living

The Irish Bull

by Carolyn Wells 1862–1942

From A Phenomenal Fauna

Living

Among the stock jokes it is oft averred
The Irish Bull is best of all the heard.
He has no points, he has no head or tail,
But many a jovial party he'll regale.
And all his hearers will with laughter choke,
Except his brother John, who sees no joke.
