This Snowy Owl, this grinning jester
a question causes me to ponder
in his wisdom does he know us
and tease us with this profound thought
does he know more than we?
Are his facial contortions a natural
joshing our brain to come and play
a guessing game with him this evening
and what would a Snowy Owl say?
Who do you think you are you human?
I can fly and grab a meal
a raptor is my humble species
humans just plod along on feet
while my retreat can be up high
looking at a moonlit sky
countless stars in velvet black heavens
with shooting comets whizzing by.
You see my eyes at slant
it is my wont today
it adds to my impishness a
coy little way
here among the fallen logs
I bring myself to play.
Per chance a woods mouse may just happen by
I will pounce upon his fur and have my dinner today.
After myself is fat and full, I will fly away.
