Edgar Guest - My Paw Said So
Work rating: Low

Foxes can talk if you know how to listen, 
My Paw said so. 
Owls have big eyes that sparkle an` glisten, 
My Paw said so. 
Bears can turn flip-flaps an` climb ellum trees, 
An` steal all the honey away from the bees, 
An` they never mind winter becoz they don`t freeze; 
My Paw said so. 

Girls is a-scared of a snake, but boys ain`t, 
My Paw said so. 
They holler an` run; an` sometimes they faint, 
My Paw said so. 
But boys would be `shamed to be frightened that way 
When all that the snake wants to do is to play; 
You`ve got to believe every word that I say, 
My Paw said so. 

Wolves ain`t so bad if you treat `em all right, 
My Paw said so. 
They`re as fond of a game as they are of a fight, 
My Paw said so. 
An` all of the animals found in the wood 
Ain`t always ferocious. Most times they are good. 

The trouble is mostly they`re misunderstood, 
My Paw said so. 
You can think what you like, but I stick to it when 
My Paw said so. 
An` I`ll keep right on sayin`, again an` again, 
My Paw said so. 
Maybe foxes don`t talk to such people as you, 
An` bears never show you the tricks they can do, 
But I know that the stories I`m tellin` are true, 
My Paw said so.
