Dawn Takes Wing

A lion roars, a mule brays
   A lamb frolics, a horse neighs

A dog barks, a wolf howls 
   A snake hisses, a bear growls

A calf bleats, a rooster crows  
   A moose bellows, an ox lows
 
A turkey gobbles, a cow moos
   A mosquito buzzes, a pigeon coos

A cat meows, a nightingale sings
   An alarm clock rings ~ Dawn takes wing

I like the chances you are taking, changing things up a bit these days. This one is so fast paced, Gershon. Nicely penned.

I'm taking so many chances, pretty soon I'll be playing Monopoly. (A little humor -- very little!). Thank you for the support, Caren! :) gw

Yeah. How can we sleep with all that's going on? Look at everything we're missing. Time for a night owls club! Best always, Gershon
