Admirable a B Owl

That is Admirable A.B. Owl to you the man said. Buckets of medals must have gone straight to his head. The rest of us rolled our eyes behind his arrogant back. We were privates and sergeants, his experience we lack. However, we know that the little guy is an owl too. We are kind and respectful. Our commissions long overdue. The witches are coming to inspect us in a minute for their force. We are trying to look grown, but we are only eighteen of course. On Halloween night I expect you to all to snap to attention, Admirable A.B. Owl said, without a second of dissention. We all knew the rules, but we kept our beaks shut. We did not want to get relegated to the solitary hut. The goblins may come with an owl – one or two. They like to play tricks but here’s what we’ll do. We’ll ignore their antics, and not act like we care. Hey! They are coming right now, flying into our air. We were gob smacked at how fast these entities flew in. One of the witch grazed me hard on the ear and the chin. I let out a wail that was loud as all sin. That will be a thousand pushups the Admiral said without grin.
