2 Short Poems From The Thunderbolt Carline Poem by Sheena Blackhall

A Very Expensive Lamb
(£367,000 sheep is world's most expensive)

A Pedigree Texel wee lamb
Double Diamond, a good breeding ram
In Lanark was sold
For a fortune in gold
It was hoped he could give the grand slam



Worries of a Three Year Old
Told by a granddaughter

My bum has got a crack. Mummy it's true!
It splits my little bum cheeks into two

I've seen cracks in the pavements
There, weeds show
From my behind will dandelions grow?
