Day Twenty-seven "Miss Flopsterkins Canary"

Miss Flopsterkins Canary

Hinklemerry Dewberry confiscated a singing canary
From Miss Flopsterkins on a summers day.
He said that singing feathered fowl made too much noise and how
It was against the law to let such a sound display.

Miss Flopsterkins was quite put out
Her bird was such a pretty thing
And all the townspeople gathered round
When her dear bird did sing.

She cried aloud around the town in hopes her howling would be heard
But not a soul came to her aid for almost all were sleeping
Hinklemerry was awake and heard her sorrowed, saddened sigh
And in his heart he knew the law was not worth her weeping.

For Hinklemerry was in love with that mild mademoiselle
So, he took his quill in hand and changed that law that such sound be not banned
Then he returned that precious canary to that pretty gal and told her of his deed
And gracious Miss Flopsterkins said she did understand

Now as the town folk gather round to hear a lovely song
Hinklemerry Dewberry looked across at his elegant enchantress
He said I do, and she did too
And then the preacher of course their love did bless.
