The origins
and history of 'A wise old owl'
The origins and history of
this nursery rhyme is vague but its meaning
is not, it basically would be told to a child in an attempt
to instil the wisdom of observing and keeping quiet! The
association of the lyrics of this nursery rhyme derive from the
saying 'a wise old owl' based on an owl's behaviour of watching
and patiently waiting when hunting its prey
"Children
should be seen and not heard!" |

A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he
spoke
The less he spoke the more he
heard.
Why can't we all be like that
wise old bird?
