Sheep In Space

Sometimes when the evening gathers And the stars come out to graze I look above into the heavens Take them in my ovine gaze I'm not too small yet not to wonder Though my woolly brain is slow Are there sheep on other planets Will one day we somehow know? If my life had turned out diff'rent Or if magic transformed me I'd be aboard a woolly spaceship Heading out, so I could see I'd have a sheep shape spacesuit helmet Curved around my sheepie face My fame would spread, I'd be on stamps I'd be the first sheep out in space I imagine other planets Many light years off from here The journey long, but I would make it Each day just a bit more near Falling down from alien heavens My descent both swift and steep When I landed, when I ventured Would I find another sheep?
