Once in the county of Marin	A
Where milk is sold to purchase gin	A
Renowned for butter and renowned	B
For fourteen ounces to the pound	B
A bull stood watching every turn	C
Of Mr Wilson with a churn	C
As that deigning worthy stalked	D
About him eying as he walked	D
El Toro's sleek and silken hide	E
His neck his flank and all beside	E
Thinking with secret joy 'I'll spread	F
That mammal on a slice of bread '	G
	-
Soon Mr Wilson's keen concern	C
To get the creature in his churn	C
Unhorsed his caution made him blind	H
To the fell vigor of bullkind	H
Till filled with valor to the teeth	I
He drew his dasher from its sheath	I
And bravely brandished it the while	J
He smiled a dark portentous smile	J
A deep sepulchral smile a wide	H
And open smile which at his side	H
The churn to copy vainly tried	H
A smile so like the dawn of doom	K
That all the field was palled in gloom	K
And all the trees within a mile	J
As tribute to that awful smile	J
Made haste with loyalty discreet	H
To fling their shadows at his feet	H
Then rose his battle cry 'I'll spread	H
That mammal on a slice of bread '	-
	-
To such a night the day had turned	H
That Taurus dimly was discerned	H
He wore so meek and grave an air	L
It seemed as if engaged in prayer	L
This thunderbolt incarnate had	H
No thought of anything that's bad	H
This concentrated earthquake stood	H
And gave his mind to being good	H
Lightly and low he drew his breath	M
This magazine of sudden death	M
All this the thrifty Wilson's glance	N
Took in and crying 'Now's my chance '	-
Upon the bull he sprang amain	C
To put him in his churn Again	C
Rang out his battle yell 'I'll spread	H
That mammal on a slice of bread '	-
	-
Sing Muse that battle royal sing	O
The deeds that made the region ring	O
The blows the bellowing the cries	P
The dust that darkened all the skies	P
The thunders of the contest all	Q
Nay none of these things did befall	Q
A yell there was a rush no more	R
El Toro tranquil as before	R
Still stood there basking in the sun	C
Nor of his legs had shifted one	C
Stood there and conjured up his cud	H
And meekly munched it Scenes of blood	H
Had little charm for him His head	H
He merely nodded as he said	H
'I've spread that butterman upon	C
A slice of Southern Oregon '	-
