OK, adding to the kitty:

A little history behind this ryme:

Baa baa black sheep rhyme

The earliest publication date for the "Baa, baa black sheep" rhyme or poem is dated 1744. Music was first published for "Baa, baa black sheep" was in the early nineteenth century making it into a song for children.

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.

OK, here goes my version and I am afraid to inform you that this will most likely be in the same category as my other poems (going for the worst one, since the best will be out of the question):

Bla bla liberal creep

Bla, bla, liberal creep, why are you full of bull? Yes Commie, Yes commie, three bags full One for the students, one for the media lame One for Hollywood, who plays your little game.

At least it is worth five bucks, which would be more then what I could sell it for.

"Bla, bla, liberal creep, why are you full of bull?
Yes Commie, Yes commie, three bags full
One for the students, one for the media lame
One for Hollywood, who plays your little game"

The syntax is a little taxing here. However, you hit a bull's eye for conservative smarts, although it remains to be seen whether the rhyme landed on the "best" or "worst" target.

You DO get additional cinammon toast points for including a mini-history of the "Baa, Baa Black Sheep" nursery rhyme.

Thank you very much. Your bullish effort has resulted in yet another $5 addition to the Freepathon blackbird pie.

Ole!

To: do the dhue; don-o
All around the mulberry bush
The weasel chased El Rushbo
The weasel thought 'twas all in fun
Rush popped the weasel!

( Don-o is pinged because he's our Most Reluctant Poet. He secretly wants to compose a rhyme. He needs encouragement. He needs the self-confidence only we freepers can give him. Inside his soul lurks a Shelley or a Keats. Mother FReep knows he's teetering on the brink of posting a winner.

Don-o for FR Poet Laureate!

(.......you can do it, don-o! )
