An old innocent nursery rhyme - Ideal for the present

[ravip]

Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir
Three bags full

One for the master
And one for the dame
One for the little boy
Who lives down the lane

Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir
Three bags full

Baa, baa, black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes, sir, yes, sir
Three bags full

We grew up with that innocent  nursery rhyme. Also had storybook 10 little niggers and golliwogs.

Never effected our up bringing or made us racial. It's an adult thing unfortunately.

For several years now children in the UK have been taught "Baa, baa green sheep".

Snow White & the 7 persons (non-binary) of diminished stature.

 

Even then, referring to her as "White" will no doubt, be construed as racist.

Three fine mice.  Three fine mice.

     See how they run.  See how they run.

          They all ran after the farmer's wife.

          She shooed them away.  They were gone in a trice. 

     Did you ever see such a sight in your life

As three fine mice? 

 

Three fine mice.  Three fine mice.

     See how they run.  See how they run.

          They all were chased by the farmer's cat.

          They scampered and hid in an old straw hat.

     Did you ever see such a sight as that?

Those three fine mice!

 

So much better, don't want a person with impeded vision, bring cruel to animals.

 

Phew, I feel safe now...!
