I woke up this morning to a hooting owl. As I peaked out my window I thought I was going to witness the death of a squirrel by the hunger of an owl. Good thing for the squirrel that the sound of my window opening up had scared him off. Or for certain he probably would have been breakfast for the owl.

Sitting on a rooftop About one hundred feet from me Was a big old hooting owl Eyeing a chipmunk in a tree It was early in the morning And the sun was on the rise When his wings began to flutter As the sun glared in his eyes The chipmunk started chirping As he ran away to play And the owl kept on hooting Because his breakfast ran away

'Good on ya mate' as they say in Australia - for opening your window and scaring that confounded owl. Because I love squirrels - let it go and find a mouse - A very humorous write Charles. It gave me a chuckle before I shut my window and turned in for the night...Maria :)
