crying wolf in sheep's clothing

Piotr the folktale wolf felt
imprisoned in his role: he must always hunt sheep

by deceit.

Since that is how it goes
in the folktale he lives. He get ups
in the evening and put ons

sheep's clothes

like a deviant, he reproaches us all.
Why not as a wolf? I could stalk and slay
with the big bad worst of them! He cries

hot tears in shame,

getting wool in his eyes.

  1. ! Poor Piotr.

    Doubly so, because I'm incapable of pronouncing his name.

  3. Oh I wiki'd, and got the same result!

    In my head, though, reading the name, it just doesn't sound quite right.
