The Naked Sheep - A Poem
The Naked Sheep -
A dull-witted sheep ambled through.
That's something a smart sheep won't do.
It's hair's now a blanket.
Did anyone thank it
or say to it,"Don't catch the flu?"
This little "dumb poem" is for our friends in Australia - where sheep and kangaroos are almost sacred critters. I was pushing around inside of my old book and, right before my eyes appeared the sheepie critter, quite hideless. Used that as an excuse to learn how to transfer PGN sketches from word processor texts into JPEG image files on my image disk.
Fun and games in Bunbury, right?

@responsiveme - Friend ARM - Yes. He moved too slowly and was caught up in the shearing. My late friend, Al Kaeppel, produced the ink sketch of the fleeced sheep. Back in the day (around 1980 or so) I, myself, was in the process of also being quite the loser - like a sheep, so to speak. Many times a poem or a rhyme will come along like getting a crutch to help a person stand in stormy times. -Gus-

@drannhh - Little rhymes about ruminants giving up their curly locks in order to blanket the world with them are always utilitarian - but rarely entertaining. You are most kind to point out that which many of us miss - sheepful humor from a fellow Mill Otter (My Lotter).
