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?
