Mary had a little lamb, Little lamb, little lamb, Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow

And everywhere that Mary went, Mary went, Mary went, Everywhere that Mary went The lamb was sure to go

It followed her to school one day School one day, school one day It followed her to school one day Which was against the rules.

It made the children laugh and play, Laugh and play, laugh and play, It made the children laugh and play To see a lamb at school

And so the teacher turned it out, Turned it out, turned it out, And so the teacher turned it out, But still it lingered near

And waited patiently about, Patiently about, patiently about, And waited patiently about Till Mary did appear

"Why does the lamb love Mary so?" Love Mary so? Love Mary so? "Why does the lamb love Mary so?" The eager children cry

"Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know." Loves the lamb, you know, loves the lamb, you know "Why, Mary loves the lamb, you know." The teacher did reply

Licensing

 * My teaching materials are licensed under creative commons attribution 2.5 and hosted either on http://wilderdom.com or http://ucspace.canberra.edu.au. I am thinking I should be dual licensing, but am still coming to grips with trying to understand the licensing similarities, differences, and issues.
 * I plan to gradually transfer most of my teaching materials to the various WikiMedia Foundation wiki projects, particularly wikiversity. Let's just hope Jimbo doesn't put adds on these sites, otherwise I will be transferring the materials somewhere else (again).
