A Lamb On The Lam (Limerick)
\nBy Madeleine Begun Kane<\/p>\n
A lamb on the lam in the City
\nOf New York, which most clearly has pity:
\nThe lamb escapee
\nSaid, “You ain’t eating me!”
\nHe was pardoned, and so ends this ditty.<\/p>\n
I couldn’t resist writing a limerick about the seven-month-old lamb that escaped a live-animal market<\/a> in The Bronx, New York and led police on a several block chase before it was captured. Animal lovers will be glad to know that instead of being returned to the market, it was delivered to an animal sanctuary.<\/p>\n (You can find more of my animal\u00a0humor and verse here<\/a> and more of my food humor and poetry here<\/a>.)\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Lamb On The Lam (Limerick) By Madeleine Begun Kane A lamb on the lam in the City Of New York, which most clearly has pity: The lamb escapee Said, “You ain’t eating me!” He was pardoned, and so ends this ditty.
