Poem
An owl sat on our tree outside, and Dragon was completely mesmerized. So Dragon ask what was his name, and Who was all that he devised. Dragon said YOU, you silly bird; it’s YOUR name, which I want to know. And again he got the answer… It was Who… Now, wouldn’t you know? Now Dragon’s not a patient sort, so said… WHAT do you think of that! Humpf!… If he won’t tell me his name, then I think I’ll call him Kersplat! Who, said the owl again! Now, Dragon had began to become steamed. Silly ninny! I named you the perfect name, ‘Kerslpat’, and he beamed! Now, here Dragon realized that perhaps he needed to be, a bit more nice. His words seemed limited, perhaps it wasn’t meant, as a mean device. Now a crow came to the branch, and sat by the owl with a decisive bow. The crow spouted, What? And Dragon ask: Are you here to help me Now? What! came the answer from the crow, as the owl added another WHO. Honestly, said Dragon! All I wanted, was to know your names, it’s true! The crow’s hard of hearing, thought Dragon, as he suddenly realized… Not everyone’s as fortunate as he, so he shouted loudly, as he theorized… What’s YOUR name, he shouted! I’m tired of getting, NO good reply. So he would call the crow What, and the crow squawked What! Oh my!. Then little Whip Poor Will came and sat beside them, very, close and such. When asked, he said Whip poor Will, so Dragon thanked him, very much! Your name is Poor Will, but I won’t whip you, you deserve a gentle touch. A Mocking Bird stopped by and Dragon introduced all his friends, as such. The owl’s ‘Kersplat’, ‘What’ can’t hear, and ‘Poor Will’ are all my friends. What’s your name little bird? For I’m Dragon, and you, I would befriend. At that moment, I left the house saying Hello to Dragon and all those about. The Mocking Bird sang: Dragon’s to Whip Poor Will, Mocks What can’t hear, And wants to Kersplat Who! Blurting it out! I dislike violence, so I sent Dragon to a timeout, in quick response, no doubt! And I heard Dragon mutter, as he walked away, I now know what the term… Bird Brain is all about!
