Stubborn

In pastoral lands
With green fields abound
And high hilltops to search and explore
The old man sheep stubbornly stands
All alone in wind and rain
The shepherd looks on and idly wonders
Whether the wether, will weather the weather,
or whether the wether will not

Nick, your tall grass story you posted a long time ago was a fave of mine. Sure would like to see it in my current contest!

OH, that is kind of interesting. Almost like a footle!! Playing on that stubborn idea!! Actually, I already did a post of just ONE mere footle for the spring contest previous to posting the two parts. I believed I had to choose a spring footle becuase the title of the contest was April footle. So I hope I understood it right becuase gosh, the one I used was not as funny as some of my others! thanks for commenting, Nick. Luv, Andrea
