Little Lamb

___________ had a little lamb

Her fleece was a deep chestnut

And every word _________ spoke

The lamb would repeat to wrench my gut

She followed her to a party

Where she met a boy

Whose soul was dark and murky

He played with her heart like a toy

And so I sat all alone

But they stood just near enough

So what I heard left my mind blown

Holding back tears was tough

And then ran back to her and stood

Together hand in hand

As if she said, “you have always understood

That alone I am quite bland”.

“What makes the lamb love ______ so?”

I can’t help but cry.

“Oh _______ loves the lamb, you know,”

Others reply,

“And, you, each gentle animal

Is so clearly blind,

To how you truly care,

Even though you are so kind”
