See the crowd that follows me
Watch me now i'll set them free
But they wander back they are all sheep
Leader of pack I cannot sleep
I'm hating every minute I cannot see the beast
Boredom reigns infinite no excitemnet in the least
Every little lamb that wanders far away
I couldn't give a dang if I'm leading them astray
I cannot see a single thought if any have a brain
Sheep waiting to be caught wolves waiting here again
I know I'm just a lowly sheep who couldn't give a dang
I'm no bo peep and I seem to have lost a lamb
I'm wondering if they'll ever go and find their own way
Up into the heather if they'll leave me fort just one day
I'm a sheperd in this flock I guide them with my crook
But the road ahead is blocked and I'm running out of luck.

I don't why but I'm in a peculiar mood... umm... it's just a shame that pretty soon there won't be many sheep to right about thanks to Foot and mouth... Anyway a tribute to all those people who call themselves friends.

Friendship may end in love but love in friendship never.

I liked those poem, mostly because there are people who will follow me when I don't want them to! I hate it when someone expects me to have the answer to every problem, and sometimes I just send a sheep out, and when the rest see what happens to it, they back off. Mean I know...

Good job as usual, Marshal. I thought it was very original.
And about "foot and mouth?" We can only hope that the wonders of modern medicine somehow pull us through.

Nicely done here. I thought the poem was well written.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I never thought that you would ever be the one to let me down. I guess that just goes to show how wrong I always am.

Let's just hope that this is the last of that desease

So long lives this, and this give life to thee." W.S.
