I Know What It Was!

They said it was just

an owl in the tree

but they didn’t

fool me !

I saw teeth

not a beak

red eyes

not gold

and I won’t be told

it was only fluff and feathers

round it’s throat;

it was a collar

and they weren’t wings

but silky folds

of a black, black cloak

That was no

Two wot, too woo

I heard it was

I’ll get you - ou!
