LIFE'S A GAMBOL - THEN YOU DIE

LIFE’S A GAMBOL – THEN YOU DIE
I am a woolly little lamb. That ewe’s my mum, my dad’s the ram. Mum told me how that came to be But it seemed a little rude to me. Dad’s favourite song is by U2, The one called “All I Want Is Ewe” I’m always full of mischief, I like to run amok. The shepherd always calls me the black sheep of the flock. He even called the vet in to treat my strange affliction. He quickly diagnosed it; I’ve a gambolling addiction. I have to live life while I can; so please excuse my bleating. For as you know, life for a lamb is always somewhat fleeting. Whether I am good or bad, one thing is sure of course. I know I’ll end up on your plate, smothered in mint sauce.

A very clever entry.. love the fact that this poem triggers different feelings. It's humourous and poignant. I also love the innocence expressed by the lamb. Thank you for entering the contest and congrats on your placement. :-D
