THE WHIP-POOR-WILL 
“Pm the well-known Whip-Poor-Will 
And all I eat goes through my bill. 
“I notice the old Owl has mentioned me, 
As I am about the only bird he gets to see. 
‘I don’t eat much for all of that; 
So it’s very hard for me to get fat. 
“I often stay out late at night. 
And that’s the time he makes his flight. 
“We’ll all meet at the birds’ foot race, 
The Owl will be there with his pretty face.”
