Moroccan Tree Climbing Goats – Poem

This poem was inspired by the REAL Morrocan Tree Climbing Goats they are amazing, that much so they made me want to write a short poem about them!
Enjoy

One young man an american fellow wanted to buy some sheep
But his wallet oh poor thing wasn’t very steep

He phoned a friend who phoned a girl somewhere down the line
Someone was selling goats and sheep he said they’d be fine

So he organised to meet with this man on his family farm
he turned up with his two favourite goats, he was mighty calm

He looked the good man in the face, and said lets strike a deal
I’ll tell you whats the price to pay, this it might appeal

The good man reached for his wallet and a price that would befit
But when the shepard said $50 then the realisation hit

The Buyer stopped in a fashion that was rude, and abrupt
He said oh no no that would make me, very bankrupt

The man said these are my famous, prize winning goat
I shipped them here by myself on a small row boat

He looks at his empty wallet and says is there any other form of pay
I’ve got money problems, three children, and another on the way

So the Shepard says I am nice, every now and then
In exange, all I want is three dollars and a hen

The farmers says “You truly are, very nice to me”
These lovely goats would look great, next to my tree.

The magic goats were truly worth every single dime
They won awards because when near a tree, they would start to climb

The truth was the man sold his lifestock because he didn’t want to keep
The bleeting, annoying, disobeying tree-climbing sheep

The Pesky goats they made him very, angry and annoyed
So he came up with a plan, that he schemishly deployed

He covered the tree with some greese that worked uselessly
He wanted to cut it down but it had been in his family

He tried giving them greesy boots but they wiped it off in the grass
He tried to block their entrance in the tree, so that they could not pass

But after a while he used the goats to bring visitors to his farm
People would come from all the world as far as veitnam

He made so much money he brought a pool and a bubble bath
He hired a private tutor so his kids could do some math

The time was near they were too old all they did was sleep
He had one more use for his lovely prize winning sheep

The goats retired after making his wallet, fatter and not thinner
And their work was not done after that, they made a lovely dinner.
