Why Should Only Birds Do All the Heavy Work

A mouse, a bird and a sausage did all live very gay,
they all lived very happily and worked in each owns way.

The job of the mouse was to carry water, the sausage did cook the meals,
the bird did daily look for wood in the nearby farmer's fields.

One day the bird did meet his friends and told them of his work,
his friends did mock the little bird and called him such a berk.

He flew back home later that day and made himself understood,
he told his porky friend that "tomorrow He could look for wood!"
