Flockless shepherdess? (2-4)

I believe the answer is:

bo-peep

(Other definitions for bo-peep that I've seen before include "Rather careless shepherdess" , "'Little' nursery rhyme shepherdess" , "Loser of sheep" , "Valuable stolen goods" , "Little girl whose flock went AWOL" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
