THE WOGGALDY-WOO

By Josie Whitehead

Woggaldy-Woo (The)

Have you heard of the Woggaldy-Woo
Who lives in a tree in the north of Peru?
       He hasn't been seen for a couple of years,
       If what they say is true.

​

He is short and fat in a woggaldy-way
And it looks as if he's there to stay.
      You can hear him singing songs at night,
      But never in the day.

​

The song he sings is called Woggaldy-Why.    
He’s a wonderful singer I can’t deny.    
      From high in the trees you hear him sing -
      If it's true and not a lie.

​

He swims in the river called Woggaldy-Wee        
And they say it's a lovely place to be.   
      The fish all love to swim there too  
      And it's very near the sea.

​

So whenever you go to visit Peru, 
You must listen out, whatever you do,
     And perhaps you’ll hear the cheerful song
     Of  the mysterious Woggaldy-Woo.
