Yuletide Lad No.1: Stekkjastaur (Sheep-Cote Clod)

The first is Stekkjastaur (Sheep-Cote Clod), who would try to drink the milk from the farmers' ewes...


The first of them was Sheep-Cote Clod.
He came stiff as wood,
to pray upon the farmer's sheep
as far as he could.


He wished to suck the ewes,
but it was no accident
he couldn't; he had stiff knees
– not too convenient.
