The Story of Telly Owl!
By Paul David Powers

Let me tell you a story about Telly Owl,
who watched the creatures of the wild.
No not a jungle or such place,
but in the swamp in the everglades!

His friends were more than one can say,
but he loved them in the usual way,
watch out for the sinful one my sons,
the serpents there to tempt you, run!

There was Mr. Rabbit, Morris Frog, and
even the Peacock the Prideful One!
The nutty youngsters and their play
and the beavers threw some mud one day!

Tully was his wife it’s true,
told her nieces of the Christ she knew!
How he died upon the cross,
so not a single one be lost!

Roc the Croc he liked to sway
jam out to music all the day!
The hunters tried to take him down,
but his swamp friends were around!

Legend said when the wolf would howl,
and the eagle squelching really loud,
that Telly’s time would soon be past,
and his son Thomas do the rest!

Thomas wasn’t like his dad,
he even played in an animal band!
But in time, he turned around
and the rest you have to read about!

So this is it about Telly Tales,
some succeeded others failed!
But there’s one thing I know that’s right,
they were guided by God’s Light!
