Officer Jersy sat astride his
Giant Jezersko–Solčava sheep
Believing all along that it was a horse
But with an exceptionally comfy fluffy seat.
Little did he realise
The metaphor he had created
When he tied the noose around his neck.
As he patrolled the streets
Maintained law and order
The unruly he banished
The obstructionists he trampled beneath
The hooves of his Jezersko–Solčava sheep.
Officer Jersy loved his job
He lived and breathed law and order
He liked to make a big entrance
He wanted to be noticed
And he upon his trusty steed
Accomplished all he dreamed of.
Little wonder then that upon the arrival of spring
With blossoms sparkling
The streams gurgling
Happy children dancing their way to school
The town stopped to see Officer Jersy
Walking desolate through the streets,
The noose hanging from his own neck
Being led by his faithful companion,
His Jezersko–Solčava sheep
Now half its normal size.

Thank you so much JoAnn.
Great use of the prompt, Michael. I would never have thought of something like that. No, not “would never have”, I could never have thought of something like that.
Must be my strange and twisted mind Lyn. Thank you for the lovely comment.
I’m chuckling madly as I read this Michael. 😀 An absolute treasure of vivid imagination and wonderfully intriguing – but with such a great twist. You never cease to amaze me 🙂

Fantastic Michael … I’m still chuckling! A great write!
