Kathy Baulch's Sheep

Kathy Baulch is a woman who does like sheep A small flock of them on her land she does keep Without a ram in numbers they cannot increase Their lot is to age in contentment and peace In the warm days of Summer them one often does see Sitting chewing their cuds in the shade of the old red gum tree Content in their old age and of any stress free As sheep they are lucky as most would agree Some of Kathy's sheep do not have a tooth in their mouth Whilst some lay chewing their cuds others are stretched out Content and relaxed in the cool of the shade One can say of Kathy's sheep they have it made In Kathy they do have a good human mate Their meat will never be on a dinner plate Most sheep for human consumption are born to die To say Kathy's sheep were born to be lucky is not telling a lie In the cool shade of the red gum in the heat of the day Some of them stretched out some of them chewing their cuds lay In the heat of the afternoon Kathy Baulch's sheep An image of contentment in the memory for to keep.
