The Hammock Boy

Whistling around he joined the herd
Lapped in hammock against the nerd
Eves and rams would dance to tune
Sans sticks and lasso was he a shepherd
---

The master’s steed lost his way that day
Caught the hammock lad singing in sway
Bewildered he forgot to count the flock
The Beaten and whipped boy had no say
---
The melody turned into lasso hiss
Injured sheep wandered far sans bliss
The master ignorant of what he did
Counted the flock to find a miss
---
Steered the steed to the grazing valley
Whipped the lad to ask for Dolly
Sad and perplexed he only could rebel
Hammocked again and whistled to Reply.
