On the Lamb

 
 
I gave the scent to Agnes, my tracking sheep.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In no time at all she had tracked our subject to the beach
 
 
At the water's edge the trail took a sharp left  -
so we did too
 
(Your other left)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Eventually we came to an old building
having a very small door
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
The sheep and I  both knew we were at the right spot
 
but where was the doorknob?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Luckily Agnes remembered that she always
keeps a spare doorknob in her backpack.
 
 
 
Much like this one
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Sadly however, we discovered it was
for an inside door
 
 
 
 
There was no way it was going to work on
this door.
 
 
 
 
 
We walked around back
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
There was an alley
and a little lite wine
 
 
or wine light
 
 
It didn't help
 
 
 
 
 
 
All we could do was to walk back to the
little wooden door and knock
 
 
Sheepishly
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
It looked like we were at a dead end
 
so we headed to a small, sidewalk café
to get some lunch
 
 
 
We waited a long time
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
After a while the manager came out
and apologized for taking so long
 
 
He was hesitant to tell us
the day's special was M.L.T.'s
 
 
Mutton, Lettuce & Tomato
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Agnes and I looked at each other
 
I could tell
 
she didn't understand.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 What?
