The grumpy old owl


Me and my friend went to visit a farm,
We came across a very old barn.
Let’s look inside maybe something is here,
It was dark and dingy and filled us with fear.
Suddenly we saw a long-eared owl,
His eyes were red, he began to scowl.
Can’t you see I’m trying to sleep.
Leave me alone. Go visit the sheep.
