I have a message for you - a very sad message!
my subject for this evening will be little bo peep.
it says here, andquot;little bo peep, who was a little girl,
has lost her sheep,andquot;
andquot;and doesnand't know where to find them.andquot;
now thatand's reasonable, isnand't it?
itand's, itand's reasonable to assume, if little bo peep had lost her sheep,
itand's only natural that she wouldnand't know where to find them.
that, that basically is reasonabl-l-le, but, uh, andquot;leave them aloneandquot;.
now that overwhelms me, ..., completely overwhelms me.
the man said she lost her sheep, turns right around and boldly states,
andquot;she doesnand't know where to find themandquot;.
and then has the stupid audacity to say, andquot;leave them aloneandquot;!
now! now, now think for a moment! think!
if the sheep were lost, and you couldnand't find them,
youand'd have to leave them alone, wouldnand't you?
so, andquot;leave them aloneandquot;. andquot;leave them aloneandquot;.
itand's in the book!
andquot;leave them alone and theyandquot;, they being the sheep, andquot;they will come
homeandquot;.
ah yes, theyand'll come home.
oh, thereand'll be a brighter day tomorrow, they will come home!
itand's in the book.
andquot;they will come home... a-wagginand' their tails...andquot;.
pray tell me what else could they wag?
andquot;they will come home a-wagginand' their tales ... behind them... behind
themandquot;!
did we think theyand'd wag them in front of them?
of course, they might have come home in reverse.
they could have done that, i really donand't know.
but, none the less, itand's in the book.
So now if you will, kindly pick up your books, and turn to page 222.
weand'll ask you all to sing.
youand'll find your books on the backs of your seats.
are we ready?
Everyone, 222. letand's really enjoy ourselves, letand's live it up.
all together.
do you remember grandmaand's lye soap?
good for everything in the home,
and the secret was in the scrubbing,
it wouldnand't suds and couldnand't foam.
Then let us sing right out of grandmaand's, of grandmaand's lye soap
used for - for everything, everything on the place,
for pots and kettles, the dirty dishes, and for your hands and for
your face.
So weand'll now sing the second verse.
letand's get it with great exuberance, letand's live it up.
itand's not raining inside tonight.
everyone, letand's have a happy time.
are we ready? all together, the second verse.
Little herman and brother thurman
had an aversion to washing their ears
grandma scrubbed them with the lye soap.
and they havenand't heard a word in years.
Then let us sing right out of grandmaand's, of grandmaand's lye soap.
sing all out, all over the place.
the pots and kettles, the dirty dishes, and also hands and also f....
(clapping fades)
Well, letand's sing whatand's left of the last verse.
letand's have a happy time, everyone.
the last verse, al-l-l-l together.
ev-v-v-very one!
Mm-m-m-m. thank you kindly, kindly,
m-m-mrs. oand'malley, out in the valley,

Then let us sing right out of grandmaand's, of grandmaand's lye soap.
