spring time

Down the muddy pothole lane

the rust flake pick-up goes

to the fields of sheep

of ewes with tales of woe

cold lambs risk of dying

now ewes udders cease to grow




there is food in the back

scarce this time of year

to sprinkle on the ground

for any sheep that's near

lambs with hypothermia

will not meet the auctioneer
