I call them a pain in the backside. Tim calls each one a sign of failure.

Ten little pet lambs skipping in a line,
One of them got watery mouth and then there were nine.

Nine little pet lambs waiting by the gate,
One got Salmonella so then there were eight.

Eight little pet lambs, heard the engine revvin'
But they didn't see the tractor, so now there's only seven.

Seven little pet lambs playing games and tricks,
One hanged in wire netting so now they're down to six.

Six little pet lambs, glad to be alive,
Tried swimming in a water trough and now there's only five.

Five little pet lambs bleating at the door.
Farmer lost his temper and which brought them down to four.

Four little pet lambs, as sweet as they could be
One ate a bag of barley meal and then there were three

Three little pet lambs, wondering what to do,
One set on a ewe who went and sat on it, s that left only two.

Two little pet lambs, having lots of fun,
One died of bloody awkwardness, and then there was one.

One little pet lamb, surprisingly got fat - so we put him in the freezer and that's the end of that!

I helped

And it was written from (combined) experience

It was a YFC thing many, many moons ago.

My son, now aged 19, made up a tune for it when he was little - a sort of chant like "There were ten in the bed and the little one said"
or "One man went to mow".

Funnily enough I saw the same or a very similar poem at the yfc rally several years ago... I tried without success to get a copy of it afterwards so it was great to see it here.. thanks Ariana

Ah yep should have said, I learned the term when I lived in W Wales. Perhaps they are different round by here, haven't seen any advertised yet, hmm.

But interestingly not called that in this area. I can't put on here what Jack calls them, Ruby however has a different idea. Just cade or orphan lambs around here.

Ah, interesting. I was not far from Haverfordwest, and they were mollies in North Pembs by Fishguard as well.
