Sheep talk

 Don't you pull the wool over my eyes

I can tell a wolf from a sheep

And to me it comes as no surprise

To find you're not little Bo Peep

But a scud missile from the skies


Oh the castle keep is seized

And the sheep fold it is rustled

And the mast of the ship is leased

To the Captain who is puzzled


And I follow but I keep

My head away from flies

And I am still among the sheep

Sleep walking in Western lies


In all but one of the cases

I have run out of spaces

And parked my teeth

Into the coconut shies
