Zackary Capp hated to watch the children, so he took a nap. He told them not to leave his lap, so not to worry during his nap. However, the children decided to go out and play. They couldn't wake Zackary Capp from his nap, so they simply left his lap. Along came a man, a stranger to this land, and took the little children each by their hand. He wasn't human and they seemed to know. Had Zackary Capp woke up from his nap yet? The children cried, not wanting to go, oh, how they tried. This man from a faraway land threw them in a van. He laughed and thanked the human man, taking the children away in his van. Zackary Capp woke up from his nap to see the children no longer there. He freaked and cried. Did they hide? Zackery Capp looked up and down, low and high, but the children he never did seem to find.

Little Bo peep has lost her sheep
And doesn't know where to find them.
Leave them alone and they'll come home,
Bringing their tails behind them.
Little Bo peep fell fast asleep
And dreamt she heard them bleating,
But when she awoke, she found it a joke,
For they were all still fleeting.
Then up she took her little crook
Determined for to find them.
She found them indeed, but it made her heart bleed,
For they left their tails behind them.
It happened one day, as Bo peep did stray
Into a meadow hard by, 
There she espied their tails side by side
All hung on a tree to dry.
She heaved a sigh, and wiped her eye,
And over the hillocks went rambling,
And tried what she could,
As a shepherdess should,
To tack again each to its lambkin.
