Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Winkers

While walking through the woods one day

I spied an owl perched in a tree.

And the closer I came its way,

I could see the owl wink at me.

Well that's a nice gesture I thought,

One's wink to another one wise.

So I winked back thinking I ought

Participate in winking eyes.

But then I thought my winking back

Could be an insult to the owl,

Maybe considered an attack,

Ruffling feathers for being foul.

The owl must know the thoughts I think,

Because I got another wink.
