It is understood that sheep must be fed
When summer has gone and winter is here
For if you don't feed them they end up dead
But that's a story you don't want to hear

It happens my sheep are always outside
Roaming the pasture where grass now has gone
When I put the hay in, the roof opens wide
Held by a stick as it's long time been done

I never encountered a problem there
But they were pushing the stick yesterday
The roof fell down and you wanna know where
On top of my head in very harsh way

My head went down and I hit my poor nose
For I had not seen it coming you know
The ground below colored like a red rose
So I pinched my nose tight to stop the flow

"Are you stupid or what" I was yelling
And sounded like I was having a cold
"You're all butcher's meat you lot I'm telling"
But that of course was spoken very bold

I did feel my nose all over my face
And feared for today to see it all blue
I'm working with sixty men at my place
They wouldn't accept my story as true

So that is what happened yesterday
Today my face looks quite normal to me
The roof opens now in another way
And the sheep? Well I choosed to let them be

A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...

I love this! We had a cow-calf herd at one time, and I was told to "hold back the bull" by putting my arms akimbo...no, thank you...

With sixty men in your barn, when is the party and the barn dance? Ouch, for your nose! Glad your sheep are just for shearing.

Ah thank you for your concern.
My nose is still there and didn't went all blue.

Party????? Come over and take your pick
They're old and young, beautiful and sick
Sixty men I'm offering to you sweet dames
Let's go party and let's start the games

Titia, I loved this and it brought back memories! I may even write about them. But it sounds like you came out the worse for wear. Glad all got better with time. Great tale, ME

Sixty men at Titia's place
lets all get dressed up
lets wear our best lace
I'll bring the champagne
you bring the wine
on Titia's poor little sheep
we will dine
and because Titia's nose is feeling better
we'll use her sheep's wool to knit her a sweater
