This should be "Its", if this is an ANSI-standard sheep, and not just
a big ball o' fleece.

If you made this "Yet everywhere this Suzie went" you'd maintain the
meter of the original.

Still, a noble effort, now fortunately enshrined in Google Groups
for posterity.

There are many definitions of what art is, but what I am convinced art is not
is self-expression.  If I have an experience, it is not important because it
is mine.  It is important because it's worth writing about for other people,
worth sharing with other people.  That is what gives it validity.  (Auden)
