Sheep Shepherds (We Ain'T Much Smarter)

You fixin' to get CLIPPED (clueless beast!)
Or dismembered for a mutton feast
Make a break from your breeders
Don't follow lyin' leaders!
Or you gonna' get FLEECED (at the least!)

Oh wow! Great Limberick, Tim! A definite winner here! I'm not that good with Limericks.I tell you, I had a hard time w/mine! LOL RE: Amazing Amazon, no I haven't been there but thanks to Natl.

My SM doesn't work, still! but my e-mail is [email protected] send me yours..Blessings to you and your family, Tim. Peace, love, Audrey
