Some sing out loud on the telephone wire

Today I was browsing the featured items on Etsy‘s main page, and eventually ended up at this photo by Tricia McKellar:

It reminds me of a song I knew when I was younger, the chorus goes like this:

All God’s critters got a place in the choir.
Some sing low, some sing higher,
Some sing out loud on the telephone wire.
And some just clap their hands, or paws,
Or anything they got now.

The rest of the song can be found in this book, which was originally given to me by my “Uncle” Mel. We got a lot of mileage out of that book. I think my favorite verse is the one that ends with the porcupine talking to himself.

(Also, Happy Birthday, Dad!)
