Poem
In days of old when knights were bold and dungeons were dug deep Widely renowned back then was found, a race of hero sheep These sheep were strong, these sheep were tough, these sheep were eight feet tallAnd lots of very useful stuff was knitted from their wool The wool was strong, and woven long to any length was able To out perform the tensile strength of any modern cable While nimble hands, pulled finer strands from out that noble flock Which taut, sufficed to cleanly slice deep through the toughest rock Those sheep were prized, and many wise men kept their woolly kind Twas said the bleating of those sheep would stimulate the mind The wonders that those sheepies wrought, would fill a hundred lists And fueled a boom for work by loom and wool technologists They found that wool, if tightly bound would not only float But closely weaved and interleaved, could make a woolly boat While natural grease, gleaned from that fleece, if applied just right Succeeded to fulfil the need to make it watertight. So woolly fleets sailed ancient seas, to ply the trade in wool Till pirates knitted cannons, to fire woollen cannonballs And so, therefore, a woolly war broke out throughout the world The war was short, but keenly fought where woollen sails unfurled The brief wool war had one deep flaw, though everyone was willing For woolly blades, however made, are little use for killing. This one defect completely wrecked the wool age upward trend And so the golden age of wool came to a sudden end.
