You have a wicked pen that drips plays on words and innuendos. I enjoyed reading these immensely. I am not totally sure that you followed closely the dictates of the contest. But I don't care, I enjoyed my read a lot and when I work out who you are will be following your work from now on.

Comment from Pantygynt
I enjoyed reading this as a writing exercise and as one who lives na Welsh sheep farm - no I am not the farmer - it is just that my house is surrounded be farmland populated mainly by sheep. I also happen to enjoy eating sheep meat, both lamb and, when I can get it which isn't often these days, mutton. I have also been at an Arabian fadhl (meal) where the eyeballs were served, like you say, as an honour.
I did wonder if a piece of writing that purports to have been written by a sheep should be posted as non fiction, even when everything it describes is factual. That could make an interesting point for discussion, I think.

Thanks for your comments... you've been to interesting places. As for the non-fiction category, let's just say the story could be written by me, reincarnated - carnated meat.
Comment from Alcreator Litt Dear
Fantastic idea, concept, theme, and interesting taletelling a life, thoughts, views, viewpoints, attitudes, conduct living a lamb, how humans tell and think of lambs; you as a lamb, a dumb animal as man says about a lamb; you are a lamb with intelligence, conscience, and you tell about how you are cooked and tasted by different names and dishes in different countries; well said, well done; post more.

Comment from oliver818
This is so funny, I really loved it. I love that this is a pun-loving sheep, ewe etc, very clever. I'm sure this will be very popular in the competition. Thanks for sharing this

Thank you for appreciating my small attempt at humour. How nice to see a 6 rating for the first review! Would you eat the eyeball?

Maybe not, haha although I do live in China and occasionally we get dishes with eyes or heads, like duck.

I've been in China too - I remember dipping into Mongolian hot pot and pulling out a rooster's head.
