Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Three bags full.

Remember the "Baa baa Black Sheep" song and nursery rhyme?

"Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool? Yes, sir, yes, sir. Three bags full. One for the master, and one for the dame. And one for the little boy who lives down the lane. Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool? Yes, sir, yes, sir. Three bags full."

Well, political correctness has started to run amok in jolly old England as well. According to a story in BBC News on Wed., March 8th, two nurseries in Oxfordshire, England, changed the words to the song so that "black sheep" are now "rainbow sheep."

Apparently "black sheep" were deemed racially offensive.

The new version of the song has happy, sad, bouncing, hopping, pink, blue, black and white sheep. Thankfully, the insanity has not spread throughout the English countryside. In 2000, a ban on the song by the Birmingham City Council was scrapped when black parents "condemned" the ban as "ridiculous." Bravo.
