"O, how I hate an ugly owl!"
Cried little Johnny Lee;
This is a very silly hate,
In Johnny's heart to be.
Our God did make the hooting owl,
For purpose good and wise;
O, there is nothing we should hate,
But sin's unholy guise.

PIGS we are apt to treat with scorn,
But this is hardly fair.
For very useful is poor pig.
You surely will declare.
He helps to form our sausages,
And they are very good;
His bristles make our brushes, and
His pork we love for food.
