 No running around from lambs this year Apparently no ewe got pregnant I fear The ram's no good though beautiful white He's called Yahoo, but not all too bright I choosed twelf ewes to please this ram But he didn't even come close to them Twelf ladies willing, a perfect blind date Now they're off season and he is too late His sperm was taken in a lab institute He only produced one drop this dude The people forgot to tell me the score He won't repoduce himself anymore No need to tell you what I have said But I can say it was really bad I think the man who held the phone Was glad he wasn't with me alone No lambs this year, no running around No lovely lambs with their childish sound No income to pay for the meadow's rent I know one place where this man should be send Like scattered leaves...my words will flow [This message has been edited by Titia Geertman (04-04-2003 07:07 PM).] |

Oh Titia, this is terrible news! And you needed those lambs! We all wanted one to be named after each of us too. It was so much fun last year. What will you do? ~Hugs, Nancy~  |

How sad and yet you made me laugh! Those ewes gave no clues that the stud was a dud until it was too late! How will you handle this matter? Did that stud end up on a platter? I'm a vegetarian, so you know that end result doesn't please me too much, but I do understand farming, and what happens to duds. [This message has been edited by Midnitesun (04-04-2003 07:30 PM).] |

Aww Titia... How well I know this owner's lament! No babes for you, and the ewes are spent! They garnered time and twitched their...nose, But the ram was off, smelling wild rose... Though your meter was perfect as was your wit, You didn't say anything to cause a fit, We can leave your post intact, there was no foul scene Though your feelings towards the lab were none too serene! I know your chagrin, for I've had my hands full Of plenty of cows, but no willing bull!  |

Well, it's obvious which animal was named Toerag! I'm sorry, Titia, it really is sad that you will have all of those expenses for nothing. I have a wolf I can lend to you..the babies may look a little strange but the wolf is very virile and willing!!!  |

Oh deer a wolf!!!!! We had one roaming our country few years back, he killed about 200 sheep. Oh well, seems to me this one is housebroken, just send him over, or bring him yourself LOL did you train him????? Thanks everybody, it's sad I know, but I will live and maybe I'll buy a ewe or two with lambs, don't know yet. I'll let you know Now how about it Deer, coming yet????I'm waiting, down boy, down.

I love that picture! The male species can be so uncooperative sometimes, but what are you gonna do? Those were the cutest pictures of the babies that you posted last year, I'm going to miss those. Nice poem Titia~ |

This was so funny! I know it's a bad thing, but if you don't have the lambs, at least you have your sense of humor. Pity it doesn't pay the rent! Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

Titia, Don't accept deer's offer, after all what's a wolf in sheep's clothing but a "bloody" good liar. And if he will lie about this he'll lie about anything - including the place, eating all your food and giving nothing in return. Good poem, I'm glad you've kept your humour about this.

I'll have to join Nan on the fence... if I don't fall off from giggling. *G* I'm very sad for your lamb situation... but you wrote of it so humorously... and by the time the big baaaaaaaad wolf joined the fray, I couldn't stop the smirks. LOL |

LOL looking at the picture once more and more carefully, it seems to me Deer, that your wolf isn't doing any better than my ram! He should be hopping up, not over, didn't you tell him about the birds and the bee's???

Your ram is gay!!! This I know to be true, for even a male shooting blanks will mount up from time to time!! Susan |

It's not my wolf's fault, Titia. He is used to taller sheep!! |
