Rebellions of a Misunderstood Sheep-Hater

My cousin, the sheep.
What a stupid name!
Goat sounds more
manly, more to
the point. But he
gets all the attention.
Oh, sure, I'm the more
attractive. Still, he's
the sweet one, the good
one, pure. On the other
hand, I am the devil's
pet. I get a bad reputation
because I have horns
and a beard. What a
bunch of bull! No,
wait a minute, a bunch
of sheep. At least
I don't go naked
every spring. Why is he
so special? We both
speak the same language.
