I Softly Went a Huntin'

I softly went a huntin’ To find some softly sheep, I cannot count without them To lull me back to sleep. ‘Where art thou little fluffy?’ I called its nicky name, And taken by the surplus A hundred bleaters came. I’ll never count them all in time, I worried like my pal, I only wants a little kip Not like my Auntie Val. She likes to sleep for England And all the English men. Sometimes she sleeps with 40 And sometimes only 10.

G'day Wayne... You are witty with a weird but loveable sense of humour... and I really enjoy your style. Lindsay
