The first sheep thinks about going through,
a greyish white sheep, a greyish black wall.
Green grass. The sheep hesitates.
It runs through, stamping its feet.
The second sheep won't go through
It turns in a half circle and is lost
in the other ninety eight milling sheep.
Another two sheep go through.
The first sheep thinks about going through,
a greyish white creature, a blackish wall.
Green grass. The animal hesitates.
It runs through, stamping its feet.
Second in the queue won't go through
It turns in a half circle and is lost
in the ninety eight strong milling herd.
Another two go through.
Sally, version 1 is fun and I think more like how we think while we are
counting sheep (I go to sleep with busted lines from busted poems, but that
is another story...)
The second seems a good exercise, even a good joke, but not along side the
other, not as interesting. If it was the only one read...?
Thanks and smiles.
