Charles Messina Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

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.

The Owl and the Chipmunk

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

Maria Williams April 15, 2018 at 7:55 AM '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 :) Charles Messina April 15, 2018 at 8:29 AM I love when I hear sayings from other parts of the world. I agree, let it go find a mouse (lol) cute ! Sweet and pleasant dreams to you Maria....Nite...Charlie
