Still, one buck can 'serve' many does

This kid could soon be one of those

If he is left too long intact

But . . . that choice has its own impact

A door to harsh life lived alone

Tied up, far from the goatherd's home

Close in, no males — a billy ban

Proximity to nannies can

Infect their milk and make it rank

Brute power of that male goat stank

Seems magical, and also sad

Maleness itself has made him bad

Craving touch, love now denied

That early petting now belied

As humans loathe the piss-soaked coats

And rough wild ways of billy goats
