KEEP A TIGHT LIP
A WISE old owl

Sat in an oak;

The more he heard
The less he spoke:
The less he spoke,
The more he heard.
Why can’t we all
Be like that

Wise old bird?

were suspicious of ten gaspipe leaks in the
same apartment within a few weeks. A
maid, arrested, confessed she had caused
nine of the leaks because she fell in love
with the plumber who repaired the first one!
