/// John (the wool merchant) Collins loved lamb
fried in batter and served with mint jam.
Lambs grow fast to adults,
and the sheepish results
are his cook will be battering ram.

Sir, you are clearly not an Aries. You’re using that as an excuse for hanging out with a cool ram.

I believe it was SHakespeare who wrote/
That you’ve got to admire the goat:/
It allows you to see/
What you like on TV/
For it can’t operate the remote..///
Consider this odd anecdote:/
A man was divorcing a goat/
Beyond any doubt/
She could have “cleaned him out”/
But the goat didn’t “go for the throat” !

Is he really an Aries or is he a Capricorn? Inquiring mind wants to know.

When a Capricorn mate with an Aries/
The result (not surprisingly) varies:/
The Capricorn’s horns/
May fall among thorns/
But the Aries’ teeth suffer from caries.

Two old goats- both trembling with dread/
At the thought that they’d both soon be dead/
Were forced to resort/
To a fate worse than court:/
In short, the two hastily wed..

John Collins, the Miser of Devizes
Was aware of his neighbors surmises
concerning his oddities
with livestock commodities
but goat-lust was the worst of surprises!
