Notes About The Poem

Backside of a Woolly Sheep second edition

Many used to tell me it's time to drop off  
that's 'cause my initials say I am a DAG 
This nickname occurred when these initials
 were engraved on a gladstone bag

In days of yore
these comments made me glum
Because a dag is the poo that is found 
sticking to the wool surrounding a sheep's bum

DAG can also mean a humorous man
can crack a joke to bring about a smile
That's me that's what I do now 
I'm also modest.  I do it all with style

If you are feeling rather blue 
feeling rather sad feeling rather glum 
Just be a happy Dag and not the one
that's sticking to a woolly bum
