we want to be wizards

we want to be wizards stated the young owl
He meant he did, also his sidekick, T.V. Mowl
Mowl did whatever Henry wanted to do
He did not have a mind of his own, dendrites were few

Why wizards? I asked Henry, the lead owl always.
We think it will make October more fun, in several ways.
Can you name one of them? I asked him, wondering why.
We heard it will get us free cookies, cakes, and lemon pie.

I have no idea who told these owls this weird stuff.
Told them so, and Henry walked out in a huff.
T.W. Mowl stuck up his beak before he followed him.
He always mimics his much smarter friend.
