One time, alone, have I seen the bird

But lo! such stories I have heard!

The twitchers from afar it has enthralled

The prey it has held both feathered and furred

While there is time I shall visit its lair

I shall direct my gaze into the air

Hopeful for a glimpse of its yellowy eyes

Before it last leaves for the boundless skies

The last time that I saw the Owl 

I nearly called it for a foul. 

It wasn't in the oak, the swine

But next tree on, in a pine.

So worry not about the leaves,

But more about pictures on TVs!
