A Stroll Through The Field

It was sunny on the morning Not so long ago When down the road I went I thought I’d take a stroll The lake was blue and clear A pleasure to behold I smiled upon the view Until I saw a nightmare unfold For just ahead and to the right Was terrifying for me to see A huge and vicious steer was there So I ducked behind a tree The horns upon the animal Were wide and long and strong And even though the view was great I did NOT want to stay too long The horns upon this handsome guy Were the size you would not believe Oh Lord, I whispered softly He would make a wrestler grieve He came closer and there I was My heart just seemed to stop Maybe he won’t see me I thought But my heart did a steady flip-flop As he came upon my hiding place Our eyes were locked together What started as a pleasant day Had changed just like the weather His skull pressed right against the tree He winked as he rubbed his head Then to my relief I realized He wasn’t wild but a pet instead!
