When you bottle feed a baby,

It trusts you'll give it care.

Baby lambs so trusting,

Not knowing to beware.

Yes, I tended and played

For months unknowing,

That one day no longer

would they be growing.

After school to the barn

I happily ran

But no longer did I have

My sweet little lambs.

The lesson at the age of six

Was a lamb was cute as a button

Soon became a wooly sheep

And then was sold as mutton.
