Poem



Long  ago when fairy tales and fables

Defined that period in time 

There's a story seldom told 

Of a Dyslexic Shepherd boy 

Who guarded the town's flock

From a wolf with hungry eyes 

The Mayor said to cry Wolf when he attacked

Then townsfolk would run to his aid

never should he raise a false alarm

The Shepherd Boy before him 

knew the rule but disobeyed 

He played a joke by crying Wolf 

when he wasn't around 

He thought it so funny 

To call out a false alarm 

Making everyone to come running from  town.

He played his joke a few more times   

Soon not a single villager would react

Then came the night when the wolf made his move 

And he cried out that the wolf had attacked

Not a soul ran to help him to fight off the wolf

They heard his pleas but they went by ignored 

He was alone to face the vicious wolf Without the villagers support 

In the morning when they checked on the Shepherd Boy

His outcome was horrifying and grim

It happened that after his many false alarms

The joke was actually on him.

The Dyslexic Shepherd Boy made a promise

He would never call out a false alarm.

As long as he didn't play tricks 

He would never come to harm  

The night came when the wolf attacked 

He screamed for the townsfolk below 

they thought it was a trick

because the Dyslexic Shepherd Boy wasn't crying 'WOLF'

He was screaming 'FLOW'
