Tuppin' Time - a Farmyard Parody

( To be sang to the tune of, " Steppin' Time " From the musical Mary Poppins... ) ( Rams ) Here's the farmer, tuppin' time! Here's the farmer, tuppin' time! How many girls will we meet this time? Here's the farmer, tuppin' time! ( A Ewe ) Here's the farmer, tuppin' time. Hey you girls, this Ram is mine! And I think he's so divine! Here's the farmer, tuppin' time! ( Another Ewe ) This one's strong and full of might. He has speckles that are white. And his " Baaa! " sounds just like mine! Here's the farmer, tuppin' time! ( Rams ) Will our lambs be Ram or Ewe? Will our sheep have one or two? We must wait for nature too... We must tuppin' til we're through! ( An Independent Ewe ) Well, those Rams can keep their place! I won't fall for a square face! " Tuppin's not for me! " I'll say. If they come near, I'll run away! ( All Sheep x2 ) Here's the farmer, tuppin' time! Baa ba baa baa baa baa baa! Here's the farmer, tuppin' time! Baa ba baa baa baa baa baa!

Thanks Anne. I really enjoyed writing this one. I live on a farm that has sheep, a small amount of cows and thousands of hens so I sometimes find myself wondering what they think and how they communicate. And the sheep get noisy at this particular time when rams and lambs are on the scene :-D :-D it's so fun to express the funny side in poetry when we see it. Xx
