Notes About The Poem

Ewe Too Poetry Contest Natasha L Scragg

Three Bad Boys Get Their Lamb And Salvation

Every so often the kids passed a pasture
Where a divine farmer kept his sheep
One night they crooked themselves in
While the farmer was fast asleep

They rolled with the grassy hillside
Onto the gates of his wooly pen
With the cover of darkness helping
Except for a noisy noisy mother hen

She cackled louder, louder and louder
And their plans began to sweat
Still, they roped a baby lamb
That would soon become their pet

When their fleeing tiptoes met a hitch
And the farmer appeared before their eyes
He preached he'd sacrifice his baby lamb
If they pray for their sins and hear God's cries

Connie, Love your story of how a bunch of kids decide to sneak onto a farmer's land for a little adventure, aiming to snatch a lamb. BUT their fun quickly turns into a serious moment when the farmer catches them and turns it into a life lesson. Wonderful tale of childhood mischief with a deeper message actions and their consequences. Cheers, Don PS: I had a similar experience as a boy hunting arrowheads in a corn field.
