Author's Note:
Under lockdown, time seems to crawl. It feels that suddenly there is so much of it. The idioms 'watching paint dry' or 'watching grass grow' express the feeling of being bored. I am not someone who gets bored, and I am not a lazy person, but I do find some activities less appealing than others, so I ignore them. Mowing the lawn is one of them - however, I have neglected this task for too long, and now it really is too long.

The verse about the goat is not true; I live in suburbia and I donâ??t think the civic authorities would approve of farm animals in the neighbourhood. A Fanstory writer, Pantygynt, suggested I should have a goat instead of a sheep, so I added the last verse.
