Let’s face it, most Owls in their fine feathered suit,
Cause fans the world over to chorus, “you beaut”!
And throughout our great land,
There are few birds as grand
As sage owls, that are cute and astute.
“To-whit” and “To-whoo”, their calls that delight,
Can at times hunters stir, plus my aggro incite;
As, no matter his age,
Or fame on the stage,
He who persecutes owls is no knight.
These birds aerobatic that fly like a kite,
Endlessly soar through the darkness of night
Hunting for prey,
At times too by day,
Though mostly then well out of sight.
If one travels from Brisbane to Berne, or Beirut,
Or others from Sydney to Stockholm commute,
Just where will one find,
A bird of such mind,
Which has wisdom of greater repute?
