A Wise Old Owl
There was a wise old owl
who lived up in a tree.
He sat upon a branch
so all the world he’d see.
He looked at a snake.
He looked at a bee.
He looked at a mouse.
But he winked at me.
Wise Old Owl
A wise old owl
lived in an oak.
The more he saw
the less he spoke.
The less he spoke
the more he heard.
Why can’t we be like that wise old bird?
