Considerate of Weirdnet to explain that a ram is a woolly horned ruminant mammal related to the goat. However, it still won't do the goats any good come the Rapture.

Ah, sionnach, what an earworm you've just given me! Now I'm going to spend the rest of the day mumbling about gravediggers and forceps.

Forceps and gravediggers, mutton and lambchops.
Manscapes and pear shapes, buttons and hamhocks.
Coming from Babylon, a Whore that sings ....
These are a few of our favorite theengs.
I wonder if all castrated animals will be issued neuticles come the Rapture.

Incoherence and confusion? Oh dear. We can't have any of that. Perhaps I can elucidate...
I was under the impression, sionnach, that you were making a clever reference to the song "Sheep Go To Heaven (Goats Go To Hell)", which has an extremely catchy chorus and makes for a confoundingly strong earworm. Hence my reference to gravediggers and forceps, both of which appear in the lyrics.

drag her black hull through safe shale down to the fathomless brine.
Next, to the dark-bellied vessel we carry white sails and mainmast,
lifting aboard her the sheep, white tup and black ewe...
