Poor Ba-Ba Sheep

Poor Ba-ba Sheep Oh the new year resolution, That us weak brained types can’t keep:} To think for ourselves hereafter, Not be brainwashed like Bo Peep, Ba ba poor bloody sheep, Intelligence is subtle, The thoughts upon ya creep, I hate to burst ya bubble, But the rich want to work you cheap, Ba ba poor bloody sheep, The greed of the rich is crafty, Half truths he feeds the sheep, Put in a figure head, whose brain is dead, Or maybe half a sleep, Ba ba poor bloody sheep, Philantrophists are rare today, Their greed has made them weep, Try to buy back some SELF goodness, hey, After robbing a million sheep, Ba ba poor bloody sheep? The idiot votes for his master, Thinks Master a special Sheep, The voted for one bought and paid for some , By some fat rich slug on the cheap, Ba ba poor bloody sheep, The moral of the story is, Don’t think like Ba Ba sheep, The elected few, aren’t controlled by you, they are owned by a big fat creep, who wants its way and will not pay, snorts n snickers in its sleep, Ba ba poor bloody sheep. Don

Yes Mikki, i grew up in the country with the sheep and cattle and going a droving too....Here the super rich miners buy a government to suit themselves, and the people in Queensland suffer the extreme right wing ego crazed Premier of state. My nephew went to Mcdonalds and go tinterrogated about his t shirt by two strapping brave policemen???

Sounds like someone gets all the wool, Don, and you feel left out in the cold. Some political humbug maybe? More likely the snickering sheep that have the upper hand over them? Money momey money; has no voice but speaks very loudly. You're an inlander, yes? Lots of interesting metaphor and imagery happening here. Happy New Year! Mikki
