Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters for December 14, 2024

Depends on whether they had too much turkey for dinner.

Isaiah 11:6 (ESV) reads: "The wolf shall dwell with the lamb,

and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat,

and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together;

and a little child shall lead them."

Other versions are similar. No version says that “the lion and the lamb will lay down together.” It could be inferred as true, but none specifically says it.

The lion is on the lamb.

I bet the lion is on the top.

The lion shall lie down with the lamb inside.

Shouldn’t that be, "LIE DOWN"?

well⠄⠄⠄ somebody ain’t tellin the truth — that’s for sure

This is STOLEN from Woody Allen. “The lion might lie down with the lamb, but the lamb won’t get much sleep”

But, which one gets up?

Based on where they’re sitting, he’s preaching to the choir.

Whether it’s a wolf or a lion or a leopard, neither the lamb, the young goat, the calf and the fattened calf won’t get much sleep.

Doug may be alluding to the song by Leeland “Lion and the Lamb”. Great song. One can Google it for compete lyrics.

Isaiah 11:6Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

6 The wolf shall dwell with the lamb: and the leopard shall lie down with the kid: the calf and the lion, and the sheep shall abide together, and a little child shall lead them.

The lamb won’t get any sleep with the lion’s belly growling.

“and the lion will have lambchops…”… (okay, my bad!)

Every time the lion’s stomach growls, the lamb has a panic attack.

Where did they lie down? Broadway?
