Owl
Owl
That’s me, night owl,
Good looking, great big eyes,
Dressed in a feathered coat,
Everybody loves to look at me,
But don’t underestimate me,
I’m the hunter, the stalker,
Watch out! I’ll catch you, eat you,
No escaping from my strong clutches,
Food is easy, swooping down,
Yum, yum my evening meal,
Moonlight feasts, mammals, and insects.
Don’t have a chance with me,
I see everything and more,
Unlike you humans who have it so easy,
I’ve seen you driving cars,
Going into places called supermarkets,
Strolling around pushing trolleys,
Picking up your meat from shelves,
Modern day people!
I see you from my woodland home,
Pulling up to your houses,
Storing your food in cold places,
You didn't know! I was watching you,
Having very long vision, seeing from the darkness around,
I’m clever! I’m wise! May give you a clue,
Reminding you! I’m here,
Just two hoots that’s me! Mysterious! Wise.
