FEELING SHEEPISH I’m learning to be a sheep dog But sadly they’re stuck in a bog One second they’re eating The next they’re all bleating A shepherd I truly am not! My tummy it started to churn Our owner said that I must learn to silently creep and round up his sheep - my attempts he said he won’t spurn My power I soon learned to wield - I returned all the sheep to his field When they hear me bark The sheep have to hark I’m ruling; the sheep have to yield! There is a brighter side contest Sponsored by Eve Roper Image 3 chosen 01/13/18
