Sheep

Sheep
                   (Children's Rhyme by Joan Donnelly Ellis)

 Sheep are neat
 Come in a fleet
 Sheep can leap
 Over fences or on hills steep
 Sheep sleep in a heap
 Sheep bleat in the heat
 Ride in a sheep jeep
 People keep sheep
 For their wool and meat
 People eat sheep meat
 Makes me weep
 It isn't sweet
 Sheep have feet
 Hooved feet
 Sheep wool is deep
 Their friend is Bo Peep
 Some keep sheep 
 as pets
 that's neat

Little sheep are so cute you see. They run around effortlessly, and free. They are a joy to watch, I love them so so very much. My little version Joan on your cute poem.

I was okay until you got to Bo Peep, then I saddened. Until then it was just darn cute! Hey, I like your face - happy to see it. Fun, good poem, Joan - CayCay (so many are missing out by not reading 'The House That Jack Built')
