YOU BELIEVE IN PROVERBS


asA bird in the hand is worth two in
the bush, -
Had often times been told to me:
When Polly was sitting alone on her
perch
I thought I would try it and see.
My hand where she bit me was sore
for week,
And 1 got good seolding beside;
Now when Polly sees me she screeches
like mad
And tries beneath something to hide
"Chickens come home to roost," was
= the next of
The proverbs I tried to prove true;
When Uncle came home on a visit and
brought
A coop full of bantams, quite new.
That night I slipped out and turned
over the coop;
And, Geel but it was hard boost.
Those bantams few out and I'm still
waiting for
My chickens TO come home to roost.
- rolling stone gathers no moss"
so lis said;
I tried it just the other day,
And how could I tell that that sister
of mine
Would run out and get in the way?
For me that stone gathered not one bit
of moss.
But it picked up a keen little switch.
The next time I try to prove proverbs
are true,
I hope Their won be any hitch.
