Baa baa black sheep have you any wool
This short post is dedicated to fellow bloggers Jacques and Sharon, for different reasons. The latter lashed out at poor sod Kenneth Zammit Tabona for using a non-PC expression in one of his rambling articles. Incidentally, in a typically Maltese "either-or" aside, Kenneth thinks life is too short to bother translating literature into Maltese. One does wonder whether the man is so stingy with his time when it comes to attending society cocktail parties. Well, well.
Now to the story:
The UK Times informs us today that Oxfordshire toddlers are being made to sing "Baa baa rainbow sheep."
And in a wonderful multiple coincidence (see Sharon's article in today's Melita Times), people in the UK are already asking whether this means that it's ok to sing "Baa baa Brokeback Mountain Sheep". ¶ 9:37 AM
Baa baa black sheep
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir
Three bags full
One for the master
One for the dame
And one for the little boy
Who lives down the lane.
