Sheep - Not Just Pretty Faces!

Cultured associations - Great Britain;
Cymru holds pride for their common livestock.

Pastoralism; the equivalent
of a poetry form - farm animal
husbandry breeds selective traditions,
an ancient science where the shepherd's wise.

Symbology touches sweet artistry
as Christianity's imagery smiles.

Reproductive physiology's skill
is taught in many universities -
nutrition and genetic disciplines
all swerve in woollen academia.

So much information surrounding sheep:
Ovis aries - domestic coats that weave
Egyptian Mythology - death and gods,
to the ram; first Western zodiac sign.

Economical - milk can lead to cheese,
there is meat too to be found on the plate,
skins for the back and shoes for people's feet.

Mutton dressed as lamb, an expression heard,
yes, there are a lot of swirls to the sheep,
and even intelligence is displayed,
rolled back actions over the cattle grids,
it's also found that memory is fine -
a sheep will remember his friends for years.

Perhaps the next time you pass a green field
you will not dismiss those white fluffy clouds
that munch on the grass so we can live life
just a little bit more comfortable.
