Black Sheep White Sheep

Black sheep black sheep they say you’re a fool 
Black sheep black sheep they treat you cruel
Black sheep black sheep are you miserable
Black sheep black sheep stand up tall

Cus you’ve got the wool they can’t provide
always alone you don’t need the side
strength found they don’t know your pride
they couldn’t be a black sheep if they tried 

Black sheep black sheep all on his own
Black sheep black sheep all he’s ever known
Black sheep black sheep walking alone 
Black sheep white sheep white outgrown

Clever and inspiring poem... but you're not all alone! I think there are quite a few of us "black sheep" in the poetic community! ;) Keep up the great work!

I'm sure there are many a black sheep recognised by similar behaviour, thanks Rhona
