As I watched the Olympics
Ewes were on my mind
Their schmooze was on my mind
Women: trouble, whoa oh
Marriage: hurries (Moi? No!)
Ties, too soon, that bind
So I went to the farmer
Where the sheep all range
I must release these pangs
In the stable, whoa-oh
'Neath the surrey, (oh, oh!)
I got thrown again
I was stoked up this morning
Sim'larly incli-i-i-ined, and
Ewes had formed a line
Burst their bubbles? (No, no!)
Never hurry (go slow)
Love those moves, ovine
That barn was a-reelin'
Each sheep enthu-u-u-u-used by --
-- Way down deep-ish screw-ew-ews
Yeah, I got the lambs all "you know"
I had a groove on (Mo-jo!)
I did it all, to rave reviews
Then I woke up this morning
Looked around to find
All been in my mind
What a bummer (Oh, no!) [1]
Shrink is worried (psych-o)
Padded room is mine…
[1] No relation to Apolo Ohno, despite our several tribs to him recently. ;)

More ewe-phonious sounds from the house band of the Bow and Shell! ;D
Many right wing zealots refer to the politically indifferent majority as "sheeple". It appears you have indulged in yet another time-(honored?) procedure for generating this species. I am trying to visualize the result, should this genetic bridge be crossed.
Ewe are a very baaaaaad turtle! And it was a verrrrry good parody! Now, if the lambs would just stop screaming.....
Puttin' the quadra'pedal to the 'nettle' again I see! Lamb- *and* Ram-tastic all neatly melded in one premium, er, 'package'--Three bleetin' fives!!
Reminds me of one that I wrote but didn't submit. Anyway really creative
Thanks, all!
OMR: And the ewes just *keep* phoning... it's getting ridiculous! ;)
Patrick: Eeek! Scary.... ;)
Mark "Starling" Scotti: TT assured me he was going away to get some help... You can't imagine my dismay at receiving the postcard! ;)
Double Ewes: And the bleat goes on... ;)
Phil: Now, don't be shy. I'm sure TT could, upon request, provide you with an extensive list of similarly-themed parodies, by various authors. It must be some kind of catharsis... or something... ;)

Ewe sheepster, ewe...!
Old Man Ribber: As you can see by the ending, it was all ewe-phony. (I *kill* me!) ... Just worried about when their lawyer calls -- you know, Sues-a-phone-he-us -- down the tuba, we go....
Patrick: When you cross a sheep and a turtle, you get the Space Shurtle -- what an achievement!
Mark Scotti: They're screams of ecstasy, I assure you....
@ FG: Well, if *you'd" "help out" once in a while ... Besides, you're the one who needs help. I sent the postcard dismarch, not dismay. ;)
Ewephoric le Ewefornic™: Ya actually gonna sell a product by that name, or ya just makin' fun a' us?... WE would *never* make fun of anyone! (cough). .. besides, when a guy becomes so fornlorn....
Phil Nelson and Fiddlegirl: It's already been done, by TJC:

Obviously, the list needs updating, as TT has more than doubled that proud number :), but at that time in late 2007, there were 45 ewe-logies, with five other mulit-transgressors, and 23 authors who only "experimented" once. :-D
Meriadoc: TT is a proud member of the Sheepster's Union. (US-centric joke; one of the largest labor union in the US was called the Teamster's Union).
