They said it was just
an owl in the tree
but they didn't
fool me!
I saw teeth
not a beak,
red eye
not gold,
and I won’t be told
it was only fluff and feathers
round it’s throat;
it was a collar
and those weren’t wings
but the silky folds
of a black, black cloak.
That was no
Too-wit, too woo
I heard.
It was
I’ll get you-ou!
