                              Your Hair is Like a Flock of Goats

                              (Y)our hair is like a flock of goats
                              Frisking down the slopes of Gilead

                                           -Song of Songs, 4:5-6

Even in a farming community
That awkward compliment you’d better keep
So ask her this joke (if she grants you immunity):
Do goats have mohair than sheep?




(“Do goats have mohair than sheep?” is an old, old, old joke.)
