Christmas Sheep

Winter is a coming in upon this Christmastide And snowflakes fall on field and fell across the countryside To cover brown and green, they spread their one blanket of white And here and there, a white bump hints at something out of sight Does he know it's Christmas, that sheepie in the snow? Most likely not; he knows it's cold with no warm place to go. He's somewhere there below the white, with snow piled up around Wondering where went the light, what happened to the sound? There is no time to hesitate, leave rescue undelayed Put on your boots and hasten out, armed with your trusty spade To dig around that snowclad hump that hides the sheepie form And take that festive sheep inside, somewhere that he'll be warm So do not get a Christmas tree, they don't belong inside Get, instead, a Christmas sheep to celebrate Yuletide Decorate him if you wish; things suitable to chew For a Merry Christmas spent in company of ewe
