Owl Shows Himself

Owl had the largest craziest yellow eyes I have seen.
I know his heart though; he is not unkind or mean.
He stands at attention, with his eyes double delighted
To show himself to tiny birds, who are sympatico frighted.
Why do you do this? I asked owl, do you like scaring them?
I like eating them more, he said. They give me vigor and vim.

I have often wondered how the owl can really see a tiny field mouse from yards and yards away. Ah, that we humans could have such vision!
