Bah, Bah...

Bah, bah, liberal sheep,
what happened to your wool?
Your elitist lords adorn themselves
and all their bags are full.

Bah, bah liberal sheep,
their plans for you are cruel.
They provide your care and social welfare,
then treat you as a fool.

Bah, bah, liberal lamb,
on to the fire you go.
Your freedom gone, you’re just a pawn,
and you've refused to know.

It's the nature of sheep to follow and to refuse independent thought: they have to take a pee if you so much as look at them! Loved the idea of Tinka's Black Sheep... guess this is just your subversive way of recruitin, huh??!! Sassy and clever, Lori. TY Kate xx

I know more than a few people who won't like this one. Say, did you see where Kerry used a cheat sheet during the last debate? Drudge has video that shows him pulling out a folded piece of paper and placing it in front of him, his staff said it was a pen, but both would be disallowed by the rules, as they all had to be approved prior to the debate. He is a cheat, like who would ever have guessed that, duh....or is that bah?

Hello Lori, you have a way of expressing, this is a very nice piece that made me think. Sounds like you were thinking a little political. l&p G

Very clever, Lori. Nicely crafted verse.
Sadly, the art of critical thinking is being rapidly undermined in our "quick fix" culture, creating a gaping abyss for hosts of scoundrels to cavort in-- onward we march, benighted and demanding our bemusements!
Best,
Carolyn
