The Western Wailing Woolysaur

A brand new documentary A first for archeology The Western Wailing Woolysaur He’d never spotted one before Neither had he seen one dead It’s very spikey and it’s red The spikes it has are everywhere Some poke through its wooly hair It’s wailing cries assault the ears Imagine the primeval fears Of prey that found this crimson beast With all its spines, prepared to feast He found it so he named it thus Woolus Attenboroughcus The cameraman said don’t be dense That sheep’s caught in a barbed wire fence

Some people might think it’s a bit sick (laughing at injured animals). I say 1) it’s FICTION and 2) GET A LIFE. I’d love to know how that old Welsh stereotype got started… or maybe I wouldn’t. ;-) Terry

Oh my, and you had me there for a moment, Terry! Sometimes I can be so dense. I really enjoyed your poem; in fact, I always enjoy your poems, my friend.

I had the bones of this in my head some weeks ago. I used it as an excuse to write about something that wasn’t sweet old ladies. Glad you enjoyed. Terry
