Who

An owl is a peculiar bird,

with strangest voice you've ever heard.



He has an almost human face.

I'd recognize him any place.



He hasn't very much to say,

but still he says it night and day.



No matter whom he's talking to,

He keeps on asking, "Who? Who? Who?"



In hot July or cold December,

your name he simply can't remember.
