Four Haikus for a Wensleydale Sheep

Four Haikus for a Wensleydale Sheep
From Dishley Leicester ram
And Teeswater ewe came you
The striking founding sire.
Praised by the British
Livestock Commission, great size
Long ringlets of wool.
Blue on head and ears
Garbed in lustrous wool, bold carriage
Heavy muscled hind.
Females, heavy-milking
Prolific, hardy-breeding ones
Even rams can dream.
