Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Look at Those Legs!

I knew I was in trouble when

The shadow came from overhead,

And a hungry owl appeared then.

Talons just missed making me dead.

Missing its mark, the owl hit ground,

Looked mad, stood as tall as it could

On thin, long legs and looked around.

But I stayed real still as I should.

First time I'd seen an owl stand on

Its legs, looking like stilts to me.

Then that owl flew up and was gone.

Very relieved this mouse did be.

From safe underground where I'd run,

Looking at that owl's legs was fun.
