them sheep

this verse was composed for the weekly photo challenge, and here’s that photo:

i fell asleep
and lost them sheep

them goats have
gone astray

i’ll find them all,
i have to,

but it’s gonna take all day

this meadow is enormous
and there’s not a single fence
i guess i never noticed
that this place was so immense.
except … i hear them giggling
they’re hiding there,
they’re giggling
i prob’ly should have mentioned
i have impish sheep and goats

they’re imbecilic miscreants

they think they’re such a riot
are they ruminating ruminants?
no, they never could keep quiet

not these galoots, no brother,
these guys are strictly tricksters

and they’ve swapped clothes
with each other

in an effort to confuse me,
i think they think they’re cute
them ovines and them bovines is amusing
but they never were excessively astute

them sheep, they’re kids

them goats, they’re ewe

it also fits the Daily prompt – fence
and wanders into the Daily prompt – gone – while i work on something new
and ponders the Daily prompt – ruminate
