Hoo goes there?

by jackie rae

Story Poem Contest Winner 

“Quit your hooting, I’m trying to sleep!

You can perch, but make no peep”.

Intrigued, the pygmy looked around.

With nothing there, he hoo-ed a sound.

“I warned you man, you’ll have to go,

For an owl, you’re awfully slow”

“Hoo-hoo said that? Show yourself!”

“It’s me, you’re using as a shelf”.

“A tree can’t talk, that’s just absurd.”

“And you claim, you’re the wisest bird!”
