Baa, Baa, Black Sheep

Written by: Unknown | Copyright: Unknown

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.

One for the master,
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.

One to mend the jerseys
one to mend the socks
and one to mend the holes in
the little girls' frocks.

Baa, baa, black sheep,
Have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir,
Three bags full.

For parents

Dust mites are tiny microscopic relatives of the spider and live on mattresses, bedding, upholstered furniture, carpets, and curtains. These tiny creatures feed on the flakes of skin that people and pets shed daily, and they thrive in warm and humid environments. No matter how clean a home is, dust mites cannot be totally eliminated. NIEHS suggests ways to reduce the number of dust mites in the home, such as by replacing wool and feathered bedding with synthetics.
