the lamb


by nick nelson




mary had a little lamb
who had nowhere to go
and the lamb was very much disturbed
by mary’s ebb and flow

mary liked to watch tv
and eat raspberry croissants
and the lamb could only wonder
as she brushed crumbs from her capri pants

who is this strange creature
the lamb thought helplessly
who never walks in the wind and rain
and has no desire to be free?

mary’s favorute show was friends
and also star trek and cheers
and gunsmoke and big valley
confirming the lamb’s worst fears

and so the decades drifted by
in pixels and sound waves
and though the lamb prayed fervently
mary would not be saved
