The Prodigal Lamb
A Wolf has snatched the fattest Lamb of all, And spared the weaker ones just for today! Blame not the Shepherd for the Lamb didnt call; It had been foolish to have gone astray.
The Wolf had planned this act fore many days, And lied of taking Lamb to greener mead; The Lamb didnt know the Wolfs much wily ways, And so got duped and went with Wolf instead.
The Lambs a life-long prisoner of the Wolf, And serves its master new throughout its life; It knows the blunder made was like a gulf; For now, it has settled to be his wife! Some day, the Shepherd will retrieve the Lamb! Her heart then changed by my verse in iamb.
