Owl whisperer
Peace and tranquillity didn't last long,
Colton Wright discovered what can go wrong,
Unfortunately an owl entered his kitchen room,
There it stayed and all too soon.
Flapping its wings when dodging the cat,
Onto venetian blinds it stayed and sat,
There it clung with penetrating eyes,
Getting it out was a major exercise.
Alarmed and cornered hypnotic it be,
Strange the situation as we later see,
Eventually with coaxing it sat on a mop,
There it remained and with talons it'd stop.
Walking with care to an open window,
Holding it out so it would could go,
Into the darkness and out of sight,
Quite an experience in the darkned night.
