Who Who Who

Who cares? Who is going? Who wants to know? Who? Who? Who? Sure. Other people pick up a cockatoo or a parrot. So that makes sense. I chose an owl, wanting to be more like Harry Potter. I chose All-good in the morning, when she was asleep and silent. There was a strong black piece of cloth over her cage. A pet that would be silent, except at night. I relished in the thought. No one mentioned that I my flu powder had taken a turn. I was in a seriously bewitched place, where owls were magical. It started out kind of funny. I woke up to who are you? Who? Who? Who? I told All-good, but her reaction was anything but silent. Who told you that you could purchase me? Who do you think you are? Who knows I am here? Who was diabolical enough to sell me? Who? Who? Who? This is day three. I have not had a wink of sleep in three nights. In the morning I intend to take All-good back to the store. But alas, the store, its owner, the entire town is gone. Who will take her off my hands? Who? Who? Who?

lol... perhaps she would be happier in the woods at night, and come in and sleep during the day...reminds me of the year we had one in the tree out back...my male dog would bark every single time the owl would hoot and awaken me...I started hooting back at him and realized he was afraid of the sound... luckily the owl moved on eventually and hasn't been back... cute story...hugs

I love an owl's hoot. I have not heard one for awhile, but my friend says she now has a barn owl. This prompted this poem actually.
