Have You Any Wool?

If the Wall of Death didn't get you interested in what goes on in the nation that is home to 1.14 billion people, perhaps this will.  Baa Baa Black Sheep is a rhyme of historic proportions--a tune that has given rise to both Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and the Alphabet song.  These songs are all excitedly recited by millions of toddlers and grade schoolers across the world.  But it is quite unlikely, that the originators of this melody in 1700s England, had this particular rendition in mind.
