A sheep, a cow, and a pig are standing at the farm fence watching the arrival of a truck with new livestock.
Sheep: Who do you suppose is arriving this time?
Cow: It could be a cow.
Pig: It could be a pig.
Sheep: It could be a sheep.
Two ostriches step off the truck and on to the field.
Pig: What are they doing here?
Cow: (calling out) Go home, you dirty foreigners.
Sheep: We have lived on this land for generations.
Pig: No room here. It’s crowded enough as it is.
Cow: They messed up their own land, and so now they have to come and mess up ours.
Sheep: Here goes the neighbourhood.
Pig: They say ostriches can kick something terrible. They’re introducing violence into society.
Cow: Next thing they’ll expect us to welcome alpacas.
Pig and Sheep: (in shock) Alpacas! Whatever for?

This sounds very much like an allegory for the current situation over here these days, Bruce. Are we not all animals?

That’s nice to hear, thank you. They can be a lot of fun when they’re in the right place at the right time. Cynthia will be pleased to hear that too. 🙂

I am all for the Ostriches and Emus and Peacocks coming on to this beautiful farm of ours as long as they are not “diseased” or everyone suffers……

The EU reference, and this excellent post, make me go into print with the one single most important issue that is being ignored by both sides over here. What good is a community that allows two of its poorest members to cope for so long alone with having to accommodate all the animals, and then chooses to bribe a non-member to take back the poor creatures who don’t want to return?

The post is like a mirror to the society. Incidentally, I had to Google Al Paca, er —Alpaca. It sounded uncomfortably similar to Al Pacino!

Al Pacino just acts; the poor alpacas have no choice!
