Word of the Day- #5

ear1
ir/
noun
  1. the organ of hearing and balance in humans and other vertebrates, especially the external part of this.


There once was a girl who loved spying
Peeking and sneaking and prying
She would tell what she heard
To all, every word
And no one could keep her from trying

Her parents were becoming a bore
And of her siblings she could take no more
She thought she was ready
For something more heavy
Or so she thought, at the church's front door

She excused herself after the preaching
Knowing some go to him for more teaching
Oh, what luck! Door was cracked
Though she was taken aback
When she felt a hand come for her, reaching

The girl turned fast on her heel
Giving a reason she knew was not real
He just pinched her ear
And whispered 'be careful, dear'
Then left her to decide how to feel

She went back to sit in the pew
The stranger who pinched her was part of the few
He was leading a song
About little ears doing wrong
What was it this man thought he knew?

The girl stayed at home now to listen
From her room, or the hall, or the kitchen
Though whatever words she would catch
Would make her have to scratch
Her poor ears! She may have to wear mittens

The girl just could not stop spying
Though she spent a lot of time crying
With every secret she'd learn
Her ears even hotter would burn
And she'd pull at them by day or while sleeping

There once was a girl who loved spying
Peeking and sneaking and prying
She would tell what she heard
To all, every word
Even deafness couldn't keep her from trying
