Night owl
Wake up all the night,
Asleep whole day bright,
Am I a night owl ?
Ward of seriously sick,
Moving my neck at three-sixty is a trick,
Am I a night owl ?
Disease in fluffy plumage,
Prey to hooked talons' curettage,
I am a night owl !
Aboard in the black hours,
Be dark sky or glitter of stars,
I am a night owl .
Inheriting the mystery and magic of night,
Taking a noiseless flight,
Blessed are the night owls !
