Shear madness wild and wooly
Deep pile fleece bombastic stealth
Cover-ups perpetrated by rapacious carnivores
Remaking tigers tame sheep ferocious
Too gentle to live amongst
Ravenous wolves howling moon predators
Lascivious rabid foam spitfire drool
Bleating for mercy Allah willing
Cunning and conning silver foxes
Fierce hunted creatures demon haunted
Vixens cannot hide luxurious bushy
Tails furry pelt scraps entrapped
Black sheep are biting beasts
Straying from flock lost found
Rams protecting flock fighting back
Gelded horny wethers shagging man
Ewes bearing hundreds of guileless
Sacrificial lambs led to slaughter
Tenderized mutton marinated in blood
Lesser god forsaken altar offerings
