Gaur [Lyric Poem]

Photograph of a Gaur taken at the Mysore Zoo in Karnataka, India.
Let me introduce the Gaur.
It's a cow, but superpowered.

It's made of thick slabs of muscle,
And I wouldn't suggest you tussle.
They aren't cattle you can rustle,
That is, unless - in point of fact --
You're eager to be rustled back.
