my daughter and son-in-law have
a small homestead, a ranchette,
with several bee hives, a bunch of
chickens, one pigeon who won’t
leave but keeps laying eggs in hope
and two nanny-goats eagerly
waiting to be bred by a handsome
stud buck he is eager too they meet
at a fence corner and nuzzle but can’t
go any farther gillian and eddy want
the kids to come in april when the
weather will be more clement the buck
is a dairy breed called la mancha he
has fine thick horns wattles beard you
don’t notice right off that he has only
tiny nubs for ears like manx cats have no
tails they’ve named him vincent van goat
