The bad shepherd

The shepherd has a crook
to catch his errant sheep.
This shepherd is a crook,
his prices way too steep,

The price he charged for mutton,
enough to make blood boil.
His lamb steaks, for the glutton
are keeping pace with oil.

There's madness in his method,
organic, sheepish scoff,
for this is no good shepherd
he is trying to rip you off.
