Fractured Nursery Rhymes

Baa Baa Black Sheep

Corruption was pretty heavy
The wool market well controlled
Black sheep was a union contributor
That's the story, or so I am told

One bale was sent to the secretary
One bale, his wife on the side
It was better to grease the bosses palms
than see his business slide

One bale was sent to the delegate 
The man who controlled the shop floor
His suppression on workers unrest and stuff
Allowed Blacks sales to soar

Money greases the wheels of Industry
