Me and Ewe

Best of friends 
Are me and ewe,
Ain't no ends... 
For us two...

Spent all the day 
One day a year,
Running away
From our shear

Not with our kin
And not in the barn,
Not soon to be in
Grandma's yarn 

Lucky is the cow 
The heifer, the bull,
The piglet and sow
Never lose their wool 

We're getting lost
Nowhere to be seen,
Licking the frost 
In a meadow green

Feeling so free to
Frolic with the bees,
Where long grasses grew
Nearly up to our knees 

Love to sniff each
Dandelion and daisy,
Temptation in reach
Drives us both crazy

Had eaten our fill
Before the bumbles,
Rolled on a hill
Taking tumbles 

Me and my buddy
Finding trouble, 
And getting muddy 
In a pile of rubble 

Fleece, white as snow
Not telling Mother, 
All that we know
About one another 

Of the springtimes
The unicorn, the fairy,
The nursery rhymes 
About us and Mary 

Best of friends 
Are me and ewe,
Ain't no ends... 
For us two...

Great playful piece Kelly, it resonates with me having been brought up in Scottish countryside near a farm so know all about farmland animals. Nice imagery and delightful thought lines. Have a blessed weekend, Gordon

Jack Pot!!! At first I looked at the length, then I began to read At first resented the word "Ain't" then I said country like me. It went on and I found the masters touch from the holy ghost. Eventually comming apon Mary, the cherry that tops this desert. This ranks up there with those that should stand the test of time. As proof I'll list it as one of my Fav's. Thanks for not wasteing my time.
