that auspicious day
during the end of the months winter
bulls were getting ready
by getting showered and fed healthy
women decorated them with
garlands and bells on its neck
and casted an imaginable shield
by drawing a fire like art with
saffron powder on the bulls fore head
the owner took him to the field
its time for village heros
from teen to adult
to get ready
1000s of bulls waited behind the wall
when there's a call for his name
the bulls were released
to challenge people to touch their hump
one by one the village boys
rush to hold their hump
while some cant even touch him
the owner of the bull won the prize
its okay they wait for next winter
to show their manly strength
and to loot the prizes
and seal them in their prideful cupboard.
