Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ballads and Other Verses With his limbs so unloosed; No owl in this world Ever had his claws curled, Ever had his legs slanted, Ever had his bill canted, Ever had his neck screwed Into that attitude. He can't do it, because 't is against all bird-laws. Anatomy teaches, Ornithology preaches An owl has a toe That can't turn out so!

TO look at that owl really brings on a dizziness; The man wh'o stuffed lzz'm don't half know his business! And the barber kept on shaving.
