Ogling Owglet

*This silly limerick was inspired by James Fraser.  He often compares himself to an 
eagle and I had an attachment to an owl that used to live in my backyard.  He 
challenged me to write a poem on a combination of the two:  "Owglet."  This one's 
for you, James!


Ogling Owglet flew to the Bahamas

To catch a glimpse of Bahama Mamas

     So sexy they seemed
 
    But, boy, he turned green

They traded in his nest for Obama's

Another connection Carolyn. I used to collect owls until I ran out of room and I am fond of both the owl and the Eagle. James will love this. Thanks for your comments on my "Mission Accomplished". Love, Joyce
