Parliament of Owls

The parliament of owls

hadn’t really thought it through

The topic was again at hand

when they started asking who?

The question should have been of course,

what happens when we’re through?

Should we fall upon agreement

the debate would have it's rest

No longer need to leave our homes

our hollows or our nest

No cause to get so flustered

or ruffle out our chest -

So to justify existence

disagreement did they sing –

and took a lengthy recess

to convene again in spring.
