Sheep's Skin

Shepherd boy seeks out a green knoll
   Close by a clear watering hole
Sheep lazily graze after noon
   Eyes heavy, the boy slumbers soon
Whoa, What? -- He wakes up with a start
   Sheep's skin, by a wolf torn apart

Caren Krutsinger Date: 7/27/2019 3:54:00 AM Big bad wolf is making some interesting poems; I am thinking there is some heavy Bible reading going on these days in the wolf den. I had never heard of a LAY poem; I am going to have to see what this is all about. Thanks for the education and the ending which had my eyes pop.
