Owl Poetry

 

There Was An Owl

There was an owl


who lived in an oak.


The more he heard,


the less he spoke;


the less he spoke,


the more he heard-


Why can't we be


like that wise old bird?

The Owl In The Tree

I saw an owl

He sat in a tree.

He opened one eye

He winked at me.

 Mr. Owl

I saw an owl up in a tree,

I looked at him, he looked at me;

I couldn't tell you of his size,

For all I saw were two big eyes;

As soon as I could make a dash,

Straight home I ran, quick as a flash!

The Owl, And The Wind

Oh, did you hear the wind last night

A-blowing right at you?

It sounded just as though it said,

"Oooo-ooo-oooo!"

The wind now has a playmate,

Just as most children do,

He sits up in a tree, and hoots,

"To-whoo, to-whit, to-whoo,"

So when you hear the owl and the wind

Just at the close of day,

They're calling to each other

To come out and play.

Two Baby Owls

Two baby owls sat in a tree,

And blinked because they could not see.

"The sun is shining bright," they said,

"So let's go home and go to bed."

A little squirrel, frisking near

The owls, were very quick to hear.

Said, he, "It's fine for work or play;

I'm glad the sun shines bright today."

If I were as wise

as many have said,

I wouldn't eat mice,

I'd be in my bed.

I'm not in my bed,

I'm prowling the skies,

so mice be aware...

I'm not all that wise.
