Bull in a China Shop

He's smashing all the crockery

Glass, furniture and pottery

As subtle as a sharp karate chop

Devoid of patience, grace and tact

A manic military attack

He's a bull in a china shop


I urged him first to contemplate

To count from one to ten then wait

Unfortunately this coin failed to drop

He's in your space, he's in your face

Politeness goes without a trace

He's a bull in a china shop


Upsetting folk in seconds flat

Not born to be a diplomat

Ignoring me although I'm yelling “STOP!”

Destroying every ounce of calm

While causing chaos and alarm

He's a bull in a china shop


So close the windows, shut the doors

Take big deep breaths and clear the floor

Emergency - you'd better call the cops!

Much larger than a calf or cow

He's charging head-on at you now

He's a bull in a china shop
