Baa Black Sheep Poem Analysis
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.
Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.
My mom once bought a sheep, but it wasn't black, it was white. So I went to the store and bought two cans of animal safe black spray paint, then I went home, and sprayed it onto my sheep.

He was old. It was bound to happen. At first people feel mildly upset. The butcher thinks he has forgotten a customer who owes him money. The baker thinks he's catching a cold. Soon they get it right—the parrot is gone. Time seems out of sorts, but sets itself straight as people forget. Then years later the fellow who ran the diner wakes from a dream where he saw the parrot flying along all by itself, flapping by in the morning and cruising back home at night. Those were the years of the man's marriage, the start of his family, the years when the muddle of his life began to work itself out; and it's as if the parrot were at the root of it all, linking the days like pearls on a string. Foolish of course, but do you see how it might happen? We wake at night and recall an event that seems to define a fixed period of time, perhaps the memory of a beat-up bike we
