A lazy owl

A parody of an old nursery rhyme. The well-known original nursery rhyme has always invoked some protest in me, because I would much rather follow the saying "practice makes perfect" and speak as much as possible.

 
A lazy owl lived in an oak,
The more he saw the less he spoke,
The less he spoke the more his beak,
Wrapped in the cobweb, grew inapt to speak.

This little rhyme says a lot in a few words. I especially like that word, “inapt.”
