Like Way Whippoorwil

Like Way Whippoorwill Like way whippoorwill whips out his sound Can hear them at night from all around Is a pronounced song that is very distinct My main hope is it won't become extinct. Eats bugs, flies and an occasional insect And whatever else they happen to select That they looking for and trying to seek With their sharp yet blunt-nosed beak. Never are seen and only have been heard Similar to an owl and very unusual bird Who is wise when we realize he refused To be found, mis-handled or mis-used. To hear him again all of us can hardly wait Even if it is at night early or may be late Around in the night will flutter and flitter Best of all he never needs a babysitter.
