Change of Continent.

On the road to Katmandu
A little goat said ‘How d’you do.
Would you have the merest penny spare,
For I need to use the loo?’

There’s a field nearby where somebody keeps exotic animals. Huge sheep, American quarter horses – and llamas. Llamas have a very strange way of looking at you.

Do Llama's do the same "stare and chew" look that sheep do? I can picture it easily, though I can't say I've been stared down by a llama before.

Not the same, McC. The stare and chew look is benign. The llama look is somehow intense - odd - can't describe it. It's something about their eyes.
