A Bull was struggling to secure His passage at a narrow door, And scarce could reach the rack of hay, His horns so much were in his way. A Calf officious, fain would show How he might twist himself and go. "Hold thou thy prate; all this," says he, Ere thou wert calved was known to me." He, that a wiser man by half Would teach, may think himself this Calf.
