Animal Farm

After posting 'Horns of Uncertainty' last week, I thought I'd lighten up a little with a. piece of nonsense


"Well muzzle my snout,"grunted the pig to the shooter

"Would much prefer that to a ring through my hooter."

The bull looked up and mooed, "I suppose

You think I look daft with this ring through my nose?"

"Worse," grunted the pig."just hark at those calls

The lambs over there are losing their balls."

"Lost mine when a puppy still in the pack.

Throw me a ball,"barked the dog,"and I'll bring it straight back

"You think that's bad," clucked the chicken, with a peck

"It won't be long before I lose my neck."

"Be quiet hissed the cat"I'm having a nap

The shooters asleep and I'm on his lap."

Well the shooter awoke and all was in order

The cow being milked by the maid in the corner

The pig was wallowing in a pool of cool mud

The dog ws chewing on a bone he'd dug up

The hens were clucking and the cat gave a purr

THe shooter was now softly stroking her fur

So all was as it should be on the owner's estate

Animals don't talk, just the occasional debate.

Great! I loved it. Full of energy, but with a slightly dark side (... poor lambs!).
