David Franks: Walkabouts Verse

I heard on the news, yesterday, that one region in Spain is moving to make bull fighting illegal - a step in the right direction...

Poem 15 of 230:  TOREO

I’m a fan of the Spanish way -
    I like their houses and their food;
But there is one thing I must say -
    Their bullfights do upset my mood.

The matadors may be brave folk,
    And the tradition an old one;
But what must also be spoke
    Is - the bulls’ pain before they’re done.
