The Song Challenge:
Sheep shoots sleeping shepherd -- Cairo, Egypt -- Shepherd Mokhtar Adam
Fadl was sleeping soundly beside his flock when he was shot dead. Hours later
police found his killer. It was one of his sheep, police officers said
Thursday. The sheep killed Fadl by kicking his gun and accidentally firing it,
the officers said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The shot hit Fadl
in the chest as the 20-year-old Bedouin slept in the desert near Sidi Barrani,
northwest Egypt. Police in the district of Marsa Matrouh said they
confiscated the locally made gun as it was not licensed. They took the
sheep away, but not to prison.
Your Bitter Tears by Jeri
Jeri's Comments: I don't have any ideas for the "killer
sheep" yet, but the "Moon on the Hill" thing is inspiring all
sorts of images . . . then again, how about this?
Your bitter heart
Will make you weep
One day you'll pay
For abusin' sheep.
'Cause we have your gun
And we can use it, too
Your bitter heart
Will have a hole right through.
Chorus:
When police come
And find your ass
We'll just act dumb
And chew the grass
You'll be dead
And they'll be had
They won't suspect us,
Sheep gone baaaaaad.
Your bitter heart
Will stop someday
We'll be on the lamb,
But that's ok
There's mutton now
That you can do
Your bitter heart
Will have a hole right through.
