“The statesman shears the sheep, the politician skins them.” Austin O’Malley
She was more verbivore than herbivore
a cuckoo-flower who habited a simple meliorism
that the pasture was always better down the road
paradise in four-leafed clover she’s heard,
just awaiting the jumbuck special, ticket cloven.

As always your lines are educational. Just hope the sheep doesn’t miss the beauty of the journey on her way to the four-leafed clover. Thanks for sharing your entertaining…and educational lines.
