John Freeman Poet Limerick

"a Shepherd's Metaphor"

In economy led of beastly mind,

Upon a political serpentine.

All strives of wickedness kicks,

Against the fleece of Love’s Pricks(goads).

As true sheep trod, before their God’s, INClINE(will).

For Contest: Follower or Leader
In Honor of: Carolyn Devonshire 
Placed #3

Gerard Keogh Jr. July 5, 2010 at 6:02 PM A Seven, John, because of the witty parentheses and serpentine/incline is a fine rhyme. Thanks to you for the honor and all the best to you. Keep praying. As Satchiel Paige once famously noted: " Don't look over your shoulder, because something might be gaining on you." Regards, Gerard.
