That's pretty good, Dick. (Had to be careful with the punctuation there). Did you consider doing a verse where a leopard came, perhaps escaped from a zoo and took a lamb? It could lead you into a whole new part of the song - where the shepherd goes to the zoo to let his anger be known to the zoo keeper and is trampled by an elephant? Or charged by a rhino, perhaps. Less obvious, more enthralling for the listener. A good song though, even without the leopard / rhino coda.
