Replying to a comment on:
Immigrant (Free verse) by Christof
The sheep gaze mournfully over the fence
At the llama in the neighbouring field
And wonder how the long-necked freak would feel
If some time hence
The llama's family in Peru
Woke to find some strange and new-
Fangled beast stretch out at the expense
Of their living space, eat all their grass,
Spit, display its high-tailed arse
Prance and preen with no pretense
Of being averse to their best-looking ewes.
Send it home. No one approves,
Except the farmer, whose plain horse-sense
Finds the potential, given that
The llama is adaptable, low in fat
And high-yielding, is immense.
