496 - The tragic tale of the Derby Ram

This is the tragic story of the ram
From Derbyshire that walked his field with pride.
Impressive horns, a fearsome bleat; I am
Sorry to say this animal has died.
A Scottish farmer had recently tried
Reviving him to his former glory,
But the new landowner just could not hide
His hatred for the Scotsman, and the wee
Glaswegian was evicted rapidly.
A Scouser was brought in, a mere sham,
Clueless of modern methods. Ram, abide
With us no more. You are now history,
Like Notts and Leicester, McLaren, Big Sam.
Across the empty field the cold wind cried.
