Classic Poem

" I'm tell j'you what, these sheeps beezness, "
Thus spoke Borrego Joe,
" It take wise feller like myself
For savvy make heem go!

" One feller dat make plenty fail
He's my fr'en' Pancho Pete.
I steal from heem one t'ousand sheeps!
I'm t'ink he's got for queet! "

Beside his campfire that same night
Said Pancho Pete to me:
" I'm tell you, Meester Guarda-Bosq',
One theeng is plain for see:

" Borrego Joe, she's vamos soon
Away from thees buen pais!
I speak you true the reason now —
I'm not for tell you lies!

" In sheep beezness she's broke for sure!
Eet make you laugh for hear!
I'm make the steal from my fr'en' Joe
Twelve hundred sheeps thees year! "
