Ellis Parker Butler - The Sheep

Ellis Parker Butler - The Sheep

The Sheep adorns the landscape rural br And is both singular and plural— br It gives grammarians the creeps br To hear one say, 'A flock of sheeps.' br br The Sheep is gentle, meek and mild, br And led in herds by man or child— br Being less savage than the rabbit, br Sheep are gregarious by habit. br br The Sheep grows wool and thus promotes br The making of vests, pants and coats— br Vests, pants and coats and woolen cloths br Provide good food for hungry moths. br br With vegetables added to br The Sheep, we get our mutton stew— br Experiments long since revealed br The Sheep should first be killed and peeled.
