Owl

A wise old owl nursery rhyme / poem
A wise old owl lived in an oak
The more he saw the less he spoke
The less he spoke the more he heard.
Why can’t we all be like that wise old bird?

The Judge Is Like The Owl

The Judge is like the Owl –
I’ve heard my Father tell –
And Owls do build in Oaks –
So here’s an Amber Sill –

That slanted in my Path –
When going to the Barn –
And if it serve You for a House –
Itself is not in vain –

About the price — ’tis small –
I only ask a Tune
At Midnight — Let the Owl select
His favorite Refrain.
-by Emily Dickinson
