Dear That Goat

 

A few short weeks ago

I popped round to say "hello"

to the place where you reside,

but was told "Goat's had to hide".

 

"He's fearing for his safety

after thoughtless comments, hasty,

made by those he thought his buddies -

folk who meet for Bible study."

 

"These Christians caused him terror -

they discussed without due censor

the fate quite indescribable

that befalls goats in the Bible"

 

"So now when folk drop by

he hides twixt books up high

and reads, until their exits,

favourite poets and librettists."

 

Dear Goat, I think it's safe

to climb down from that place.

I assure you, through this rhyme,

we live in enlightened times!

 

I'm sure they're most contrite

to have caused you all that fright .

Please return to Bible study

'cause you really are their buddy.

 

Your blog is so inventive

for our site, it's an incentive.

you're helped (one sometimes senses)

by Henry H - your amanuensis!
