 bovis poem #3

I know you have been on
tenterhooks to hear the
names of prize bulls well
I won’t keep you waiting
any longer Green Notch
Segis Ginger was pretty
good Highland Caesar
Lochinvar didn’t live up
to his name neither did
Tidy Burke Fobes but
Dorothil Colantha Lucifer
now there was a bull who
earned his keep as did
Glengary Lloyd Royal
but he unfortunately
died of nitrate poisoning
now how did that occur
