A Diet Undesired
He was set to keep a flock of sheep,
And they seemed to him too slow;
So he took great pains to improve their brains
With food to make them grow.
But they would not eat the high-spiced meat
For all that he could say;
His scorn was wasted and the food untasted
For the sheep weren't made that way.
He would make them take his good beefsteak!
So he raged day after day;
But his anger deep was lost on the sheep—
For they were not made that way.
And they seemed to him too slow;
So he took great pains to improve their brains
With food to make them grow.
But they would not eat the high-spiced meat
For all that he could say;
His scorn was wasted and the food untasted
For the sheep weren't made that way.
He would make them take his good beefsteak!
So he raged day after day;
But his anger deep was lost on the sheep—
For they were not made that way.
