Sheep To Andrew
From ancient docs,
The freedom stems
To march with flocks
Across the Thames:
Since Philip died
A Freeman, you
Are qualified
As Freeman too,
And even woke
Judicial might
Dare not revoke
Your civic right ...
     But in the courts
Of law for sheep,
We ovine sorts
Aren't bound to keep
To human rules
That lords apply
To royal fools:
Don't even try
To exercise
Your rights of old—
For you, we guys
Don't leave our fold!
