THE OWL

Tiddly Winks had a pet owl.

He called him “Mr. Who.”

The Owl cried, “Tu-whit, tu-who.”

Tiddly Winks said, “Meet the Rag Doll.”

The Rag Doll said,

“Are you really old and wise,

I very much admire your size.”

The Owl replied,

“I admire your bead eyes so bright,

Can you read by candle-light?”

They all laughed at that.

The Rag Doll could not read at all!
