Some say King Solomon

was the wisest man that ever lived.

His wise sayings will make your think.

Some say the owl

is the wisest bird that ever lived.

With the twist of his head and a wise-owl blink

the words he speaks will also make you think.

Trust me, I know,

because sometimes in the middle of the night

he sits in the sycamore tree

outside my bedroom window.

And as I lie awake, I find

the very thoughts

that have been heavy on my mind

are comforted

by the wise words he speaks to me.

”Whoo-hoo,” he says,

”If you think kind thoughts of others,

you’ll find it to be true,

they will, in turn, think kindly thoughts of you.

Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo.

And of others, ‘tis best their faults to overlook

because, my friend, it tells you in the Holy Book

that what you sow will come back to you.

Whoo-hoo,  whoo-hoo.

So, of others their mistakes ignore

and you’ll come out ahead.

Refrain from judging others

and try praising them instead.

You’ll feel better if you do.

Whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo.
