Little Bo Peep

Little Bo Peep has lost her sheep, And can't tell where to find them; Leave them alone, and they'll come home, Wagging their tails behind them. Little Bo Peep, with staff in hand, Searched the farm across the land. First to the chicken coop she went, Asking hens with sweet intent. "Cluck-cluck," said chickens pecking grain, "We haven't seen your woolly train. But try the barn where cows all rest, They might have seen your fluffy guests!" Little Bo Peep hurried away, To the big red barn filled with hay. "Dear gentle cows," she asked with care, "Have you seen my sheep anywhere?" "Moo," said the cows while chewing grass, "We saw them happily pass. They went toward the muddy spot, Where piggies play when days are hot." Little Bo Peep skipped to the sty, The mud was deep, the sun was high. "Little pink pigs," she called with hope, "Have you seen my sheep that roam?" "Oink," said the pigs with muddy snouts, "Your fluffy friends, without a doubt, Went to the field where horses play, We saw them walking that-a-way!" Little Bo Peep ran to the field so green, But her lost sheep were nowhere to be seen. "Friendly horses, tall and strong, Have my woolly sheep passed along?" "Neigh," said the horses swishing tails, "They crossed these grassy, open trails. The farm dog saw them, we believe, He's resting on the porch beneath the eave." Next to the farmhouse Bo Peep stepped, Where the old dog peacefully slept. "Old farm dog upon the porch, Can you help find my sheep, of course?" "Woof," barked the dog, tail wagging with glee, "I know just where your sheep might be! They're by the stream so cool and clear, Follow me, I'll take you there!" The dog jumped up and led the way, Bo Peep followed without delay. There by the water, just as he said, Her sheep were drinking, being fed. They bleated when they saw her face, And gathered round with woolly grace. Bo Peep hugged each fluffy friend, So glad their wandering came to end. "Thank you, farm friends," Bo Peep said bright, As she led her sheep home before night. "With your help along the way, My sheep are safe at home today!"
