Shaun had just got sheared
Of his woollen shanks
When Shaun got up the shearer said
What do you say Shaun? “Thanks”
Can’t find shanks in dictionary?….
It’s in mine….

“In days long past
shanks could be slow
or they could be fast
But those days are gone
when shanks were either
too short or too long.”
