The Mole and the Vole

The mole and the vole, went out for a stroll

For the moon was all shiny and bright.

Happily chatting, unaware of the flapping

As the incredulous owl now took flight.

Too late they saw the oncoming claw 

So enraptured they were by the moon,

The mole and the vole, poor little souls.

Their demise, it came all too soon.

A fun poem with an unhappy ending for the Mole and the Vole, but very happy for an hungry Owl, regards, Kevin
