Story 272

Fond of Fowl

Once upon a time there lived a monk named Fr. Powell who always wore a robe with
a cowl.

At sin he would scowl and say, "It's foul !" But at food, he would yowl, es•pe•cially
for fowl.

Therefore he kept a bird dog that would growl and a coyote that would howl. And
at night, with the help of an owl, they would go out on the prowl to catch the tasty
water •fowl.

She finishes con•crete with a trowel
She goads her horse with a rowel
She dries herself off with a towel
And she greets people with a bow
