Goats! Goats! Goats!
   The shepherd of their lands
As they munch their oaty-oats
   They roam the earth in bands

The clack of a hoof, the sound of a bleat
   We certainly know you're coming
To jump a fence is a quite a feat
   For the goat-a-running!

But woe to those who try to eat you!
   As though you would eat grass
For humans you would eat two!
   Including the little lass

Up and down the rocky tide
   Where you make your dwelling
You kick a traveler off the side
   There shall be no telling!

So O' mighty goat, peace to thee
   Continue on your path
For if any would make war with ye
   He should soon know your wrath!

Author's Comments

A short poem I was working on in Brit Lit (instead of doing what I was supposed to, naturally).

I ended up loving the result; it struck home and made quite a few smiles to-day, which all things considered, makes any work worthwhile. Poetry is usually either all lovey-dovey (though, don't get me wrong, I'm a fan), or all depressing. Here, instead, is a fun piece about those animals we all call 'goats'.

I hope you enjoy! All comments are welcome.
