MRS ACORN



Luke Acorn planted oak trees in a dell
and called to his mother to see,
but Mrs Acorn had other things to do.

She had cakes to bake
and shirts to make
for Luke Acorn on the go.

She had songs to sing
and plans to make,
and constant brewing tea.

SLEEPING SHEEP



The ornament was called
"Sleeping Sheep",
but as far as I know
ornaments don't sleep.

It lay there, eyes closed
on green baize,
but no dreams were there;
no trembling as in fear.

A sightless shepherd
stood nearby,
for ornaments don't see
from eyes, though nice they be.
