Who



An owl can chirrup a deer friend.

An owl can give a hoot.

An owl can’t wolf down

A whole cow,

But an owl is pretty cute.



An owl can bear all our birds in

Its outlook from the top.

An owl can’t be stumped

By a lizard’s lumps,

But an owl you cannot stop.



An owl can bee like a flower,

Carry on the summer breeze.

An owl won’t lose sleep

On the secrets you keep,

But it might just hear your pleas.



An owl can see through the bower

Every menace in its shade.

An owl will fly silent,

Her moon being strident,

But an owl you cannot fade.
