to get creative with the word “captivating”.
Thanks, Heather! Here’s my musical take.
A Bull’s Lament
Listen, I’m not one for romantic moo-sings, but Bessie’s eyes? Beyond captivating. Those sapphire pools have me bewitched, bothered and bewildered. I would moove heaven and earth to be near her. Yesterday, I accidentally trampled the farmer’s prize petunias trying to impress her with my most dashing canter. She didn’t even glance up from her cud. I’ve totally lost my bovine mind. My buddies say I’m being udderly ridiculous, but they don’t understand. When she bats those baby blues, I’m nothing but a lovesick bull in a China shop of emotions. Send help. Or alfalfa.
