Little Bo-Peep

[joannaingram84]

Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
And can't tell where to find them.
          Leave them alone,
     And they'll come home,
And bring their tails behind them.

[trucktina]

Little Bo peep fell fast asleep
And dreamt she heard them bleating;
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were still a-fleeting.

Then up she took her little crook,
Determined her to find them;
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they'd left their tails behind them.

It happened one day, as Bo peep did stray
Into a meadow hard by,
There she espied their tails side by side,
All hung on a tree to dry.

She heaved a sigh and wiped her eye,
And over the hillocks went rambling,
And tried what she could, as a sheperdess should,
To tack each again to its lambkin.

That is right, I am glad that it wasn't a different Little bo-peep with different words added to the poem. That is a child classic. I hope you get a lot of posts!

Who thinks up these things, "Little Bo Peep", don't you have a life or are you just bored to death?

This isn't something that she made up. It's a nursery rhyme.
