Reg The Ram

Reg the ram was not great friends with anyone at all

He was always miserable and never had a ball

If he came upon someone whatever time of day

He butt them quickly up the bum until they went away

One day he met Billy Goat, and decided to attack

But Billy was a butter too and would not turn his back

Reg became a bit confused, they usually ran for cover

The two just stood there staring hard, and daring one another

Suddenly, explosively, both charged to start the battle

And crash, they hit their heads as one, with one almighty rattle

Both were shaken, both flat out, and when they were recharged

They started moving back again to try another charge

Now everyone had heard the noise and came outside to stare

And pretty soon the bets were flying almost everywhere

Harrys money went on Billy, Hectors went on Reg

While the sheep in Harrys flock looked on through the hedge

Clang, another crash of heads was heard by everyone around

And both the ram and goat went down, without another sound

All bets were off as both were out and no one seemed to win

But Douglas said lets wake them up and start it all again

They tried and tried to get the two to start another scuff

But both the goat and ram agreed they really had enough

Reg is more polite these days in case he meets his match

And only butts the ones he knows will be an easy catch
