Seven Sheep

Seven sheep escaped their fate

En route to getting killed.

Perhaps they sensed their hopes and dreams

Would never be fulfilled.

 

So off the truck they bolted

And through neighborhoods they tore,

Where several of them ended up

Outside a mattress store.

 

It’s possible the customers,

In search of cozy sleep,

Might have thought it was a gimmick –

Being able to count sheep.

 

The police arrived, the sheep were caught

And no one suffered harm,

But best of all, those seven sheep

Will now live on a farm.
