Babbling Brook - 8/15/26

Underneath the babbling brook

So talkative is she

That under her lips does hide

The introverted fish! Can't you see?

He swims and nibbles, resides in the tide

Over his solitary giggles there is never heard a sigh

The lie that the crow cries, saying sad, he'll die

Die, this he will, but sad, I say not

Introverted fish is he! Alone is his plot.

- E. E. Huckabee
