On being a sheep.

27 Replies

Have you ever wondered

What it's like to be a sheep

Standing in a field all day

With lots of grass to eat?

You don't get any proper meals

Like fish,chips, mushy peas

You might get a few sheep nuts

If you look sad and say please.

There's also ramifications

In what happens ever year

That's when you lose virginity

And get a label in your ear.

When you've grown a lovely coat

Which is a perfect fit

They come along and cut it off

For some darn fool to knit.

Worst of all at each year end

Is the thing I hate the most

They take away our children

To make Don's Sunday roast!

Not so clever is it being a sheep

The stuff folks do would make you weep

You grow a nice coat in the middle of summer

Then they shear it off nows thats a bummer

Then you are dipped in something not very nice

Supposedly to cure you of some ticks and lice

Beware the ear tag coloured yellow

Life will be short for that dear fellow

Ti's a sign alas that for him it's too late

Because farmer giles has decided his fate

But with careful planning and if we act together

We can live a life of luxury with HH forever

A tribute to HungryHufflepuff xx

Thanks Skis 😊 I’m very honoured. I’ve just bought some turnips and Brussels sprouts for my sheep, they’ll be having a big feast later 🍽 I feel embarrassed saying that, because they’re eating more than you are. Well I guess that’s not difficult, Scruffy Cat must be eating more than you 😞

Although turnip,hidden in a heartening soup is nice they are more than welcome to my share of the Brexit sprouts. :)

skischool in reply to Hacienda

Don't think there will be anything to update Carino,we can't proceed with anything until this gastro issued is settled it would be too dangerous,just hoping to get a look at his last CT and get his recipe for sedation as it will all be useful info for the gastro people as we proceed.:)

Besitos xxxxx
