Politically Incorrect


Beware of sheep wearing hoods.
The sheep were shorn of their wool before being 
taken into the show ring and clothed in muslin outfits 
to keep them from becoming soiled. 
While no political intent was discerned, 
the outfits may be the latest fashion;
I've been to shows in the past where the sheep
were clad in brightly-colored Spandex that 
hugged their forms. Maybe they felt sheepish 
about the body-revealing outfits 
and demanded a change, but still sheepishly 
following the latest trend.


Sharing the building with the sheep were various 
breeds of goats. Almost as wary as their sheep cousins,
it was difficult to get one to be friendly - except for this guy,
who seemed perfectly willing to follow me home.
I liked his curious nature, wrinkled forehead,
and wiry coat.
