The Sheep

The sheep have escaped;
Eleven of them,
With coats on their back.

Caltrans is out looking for them
As are Claire, Susie, Carolyn
And others too.

They disappeared sometime last night
But it was not discovered until
Early this morning.

Where did they go?

They were supposed to be moved
To Carolyn's property this morning
To munch on her grass
For a week or so.
Proper mowers they are.

They were on the other side
Of highway 89 and
Must have crossed the road successfully.
They can't be far.
They don't cross water
And streams are abundant,
But the grass has grown
So tall this summer
That they disappear
In the field.

Perhaps they will be found
After their green dinner
When they can be seen
Once again.

  1. The sheep have been found! They wandered south on 89 rather than toward us. All are safe.
