The Burrowing Owl – Waits for his new house;

Under constructions – ‘Till then he pouts;

Milling about – Wondering how;

Long he’s without – His dwelling, stout;

Causing some doubt – If he must crouch;

Under the ground – In his old house;

With his friend mouse – With whom he jousts;

Sometimes, dust clouds – Fill up his snout;

He’d like to flout – His brand new house;

To the owl crowd – Along his route;

That’s why he wants – His new house now.
