A COUNTRY TRAGEDY
By Beau Parke 
Samuel Crumpler paid the price for being so nice 
and trusting with his bull; 
He walked the field that blistering Summer's day 
whilst checking acreage and gauging chores 
unmindful of his young and powerful charge. 
Then suddenly the animal took pace 
and rushed and roared and snorted t'wards his face, 
whilst Sam stepped back, yet still believed 
the bull was easy to contain: 
But on it went, momentum built 
to such a speed and strength that Sam, alarmed, 
tried frantic'ly to reach for branches of the nearby oak, 
but failed to get the leverage he needed now 
to avoid its frenzied, maddened surge; 
He yelled in terrifying pain as he was pinned against 
the trunk and gored relentlessly by this unreal, unreasoning 
monster that he'd fed and nurtured from a calf; 
The blood was spurting forth as sweat and slime and slaver 
from the bull was intermixed with gore, 
and bones were crushed till Samuel Crumpler's broken frame 
was tossed into the air, now cruelly 
scythed and crunched beyond all comprehension. 

His sorrowing widow and nine sons and daughters 
saw him laid to rest a few days later 
in the Village Churchyard, knowing that local history 
had been made at his expense for trusting that 
young bull and lowering his guard. 
Samuel Crumpler, wheelwright, carpenter and sometime farmer died, 
aged fifty-five, in 1849; a kind and strong and gallant, 
some say foolish, family man.
