A GOSPEL TREASURY
Poems Based on Lectionary Gospels
The sheep has been domesticated
for so many years,
that a sheep without a shepherd
can succumb to many fears.
When his wool is long and heavy
and he’s lying on a hill,
if his feet are up the slope,
he cannot stand. He never will.
Sheep aren’t really very bold and
they are also not too bright.
While they seldom do much thinking,
they are easy to excite.
If a flock should start to panic
and a leader should arise,
foolishly, they all will follow
though it lead to their demise.
