why does the speaker use the term wink-ity and blink-ity to describe the owl?
Answers
"This is a poem named Rather written by Mary Austin. In this poem, Mary chooses animals and she gives descriptions on them that are presented in a sing song tone. In the below lines, Mary described the nature and visions of an owl:
I know very well what I'd rather be
If I didn't always have to be me!
I'd rather be an owl,
A downy feathered owl,
A wink-ity, blink-ity, yellow-eyed owl
In a hole in a hollow tree.
I'd take my dinner in chipmunk town,
And wouldn't I gobble the field mice down,
If I were a wink-ity, blink-ity owl,
And didn't always have to be me!
"
