Sheepwatch

No shedding today,

the ring is barren

twenty two winter sheep

pock the tufty meadow

Still grazing after all these years

Mutton full of vibrant lamb

Gabriel scowls, forlorn as a kid

Who never had a household pet

Still radio silence fills the barn

You can hear the hay

Insinuating rumours

Nits!
