Who liked to act like a leopard

And David, a shepherd and pliant,

So he took a stone,

And crushed his head bone,

Then Israel roared like a lion.

violet-backed starlings
know how to
Shepherd 
the 
sheep clouds
with 
their 
sprite wings
somehow, somehow
to know thy name

when tiny tots near the t.v.
turn and ask you: "Why?!" ....
check your gun, pet your shepherd,
lock your doors and watch them sleep

Like sheep on a steep rocky slope,
We need to have guidance to cope.
We might fall and slide down
To the sea and all drown.
Heed the Shepherd. He’s our only hope.

The milkmaid brings the cow to yield,
To fill the churn from yonder field.
While shepherd sheer their flock of sheep,
To make warm socks to clad our feet.

Gulfs

A gulf between us, but we relate, 
You're an official, I'm a shepherd, 
But we both have bodies, legs, 
But you can get better upon illness, 
‘Cos upon Pilate you do wait.
