#21 - Shepherd's Pie For Ewe

 #44 Killer of Sheep (1978)


I am the shepherd – probably the best

you’ve ever seen. Popular with sheep 

the sheep, they love me. Last guy, he just messed

up everything. I fixed it: one clean sweep.

 

You seen the markets? Wool is up a bunch –

we’re looking at a boom that never ends!

Triumphal mutton will be served at lunch

and also lamb (for just my closest friends).

 

Another savvy deal: dinners, meet diners!

see, this is doing business in the pro’s!

Ignore my bogus critics and maligners:

I am the greatest – everybody knows

the deaths so wrongly charged to my account

were just the black sheep – clearly they don’t count.
