Sheepdog Trials

I saw a note pinned up today that sheepdog trials are underway I thought, at last, there's justice for the flock I imagined my fine elocution as witness for the prosecution denouncing deeds by doggies in the dock. Two-leggies might not have the smarts to see through arcane canine arts and arrogantly think they are in charge They're suckered to the masterplan, believe the wolves are tamed by man, when really they are free to roam at large. In court we sheep will have our day and see the wolves all locked away, and finally they'll throw away the key; then celebrate in field and dale; in years to come they'll tell the tale of how the woolly ones became the free.

Sheep becoming free spirits? Can this be true? What an interesting and unique write still smiling.
