1. LITTLE ABEL GOES TO CHURCH
And this is what he heard
And saw at church:
Oh, a great yellow bird
Upon a perch—
Quite still upon a perch.
And then a man in white
Got up and walked to it,
And talked to it
For a long while (he said);
But the yellow bird
(Although it must have heard!)
Never turned its head,
Or did anything at all
But look straight at the wall!
(A true tale.)
