I believe the answer is:

blaspheme

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'displease lord?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'sheep and lamb straying' is the wordplay.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'straying' indicates anagramming the letters.
'sheep' put after 'lamb' is 'lambsheep'.
'lambsheep' is an anagram of 'BLASPHEME'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blaspheme that I've seen before include "Utter obscenities or profanities" , "Swear" , "Talk irreverently about God and sacred things" , "Curse profanely" , "Speak irreverently about God" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
