Notes About The Poem

He's Rounding Em Up

A shepherd in charge of his flock Insisted on wearing a frock He wore black high heels When out in the fields... His hormones they sure ran amok When working in inclement weather His outfit was shiny black leather He looked a bizarre sight In his corset so tight His family now call him Heather! 5/2/18

So, Jan, what's a poor sheep to think of all this, anyway?!...Of course, here in the USA, things are so nuts that they've just taken the 'Boy' out of 'Boy Scouts'...Then again, Johnny Cash had a country-music hit way back in the day with a song called "A Boy Name Sue." Go figure, eh?

That was probably my favorite. I just love how you ended it with him being called Heather. Reminded me of an old comedy called the Heathers.

I take my purple hat off with the giant pink plume and bow to the Limerick master. Well done, Kemosabee. Well done! Which makes me the Lone Ranger. And I doubt you are old enough to understand this means. Great job!
