Night owl
I see the owl in the night
When the moon is shining very bright
The owl sits on a tree at a great height
I hear the sound it makes
It swoops down and it's prey it takes
Which I am sure is not a cake
It's got sharp and big eyes
As the big book say, the owl doesn't tell lies
Though I can not see in the dark,
I believe the owl has a beguiling smile
It has big feathery wings
and claws through which it's prey it clings
It has a beak
Do not make the mistake thinking it is weak
It is called the knowledge owl
Not scared of any animal's growls!
