A great thread never dies.

It just gets put out to pasture.

Actually, I believe the enclosures are more commonly referred to as **corrals**.

Didn’t want this little gem to go unremarked.

In fact, if **Hal** promises to start referring to his and others’ workspaces as corrals, I will personally send him five dollars.  
Note: Five dollars is entirely imaginary.

With apologies to Bette,

Some say love, it is a river that drowns the tender lamb.  
Some say love, it is a shearer that cuts your sheep and dam  
Some say love, it is a sweater, an endless colored wool.  
Hal say love, it is a sheep, and ewe, he will fill full.

It’s the herder, afraid of stubble, that never learns to shear.  
It’s the sheep, afraid of dying, that never takes a pap smear.  
It’s the goat who won’t be taken, who runs from Bristol.  
And the livestock, afraid of rupture, that never sees Hal’s pistol

When the night has been too lonely, and the ranch is rich with swine,  
And ewe think that love is only for the lucky and the ovine,  
Just remember in the meadow, far away from Ms Bo Peep,  
Lies the lamb, that with the Hal’s love, in the spring becomes The Sheep

For your enjoyment…

A poetic gem from my friend Steve, who happens to be looking over my shoulder and is forcing me to post this. Sort of.

"Women are fine,

And sheep are divine…

But a Llama is numero uno."

Don’t ask **me** to explain, 'cuz I don’t even WANT to know…Steve’s not mine. He’s married to my friend Sill. _He’s HER problem, not mine. Thank the good God for small…make that LARGE… favors. 😃 "_
