Ba Ba Black Sheep
Have you Any Sleep

No Sir No Sir
Only the Wool

Ba Ba Black Sheep
Where are the Sheep

No Sir No Sir
All Sheep
Are on Vacation

Sipping Margaritas
In the Bahamas

Ba Ba Black Sherp
I Cannot Skeep

Who will I Count
While the Sheep
Are on Vacation

Yes Sir Yes Sir
Count Your
Vast Blessings

Baaaaah

CE, sipping margaritas in the Bahamas will never seem the same again. : )

The 'black sheep' had me go on a tangent looking for origin of 'black sheep' and hopefully an antonym.

black sheep figurative use (by 1843) is supposedly because a real black sheep had wool that could not be dyed and was thus worthless. But one black sheep in a flock was considered good luck by shepherds in Sussex, Somerset, Kent, Derbyshire. Baa Baa Black Sheep nursery rhyme's first known publication is in "Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book"(c.1744).

Wow thank you for sharing that historical tidbit.

I would certainly love a black sweater right around now!
