Listening Like That Wise Old Owl

Listening Like That Wise Old Owl

This version was first published in Punch, April 10, 1875, and ran as follows.

There was an owl liv’d in an oak
The more he heard, the less he spoke
The less he spoke, the more he heard.
O, if men were all like that wise bird.

We saw this posted on social media some time back. It sparked a number of conversation between Lisa and me, including today’s recorded episode.
