Owls Scoop prey in they jowels Bones and fur stay in the gullet Meat goes to the bowels Comes out like a bullet After six hours Tow times per day Once at the hunting ground Once at the day roost Pick past the fur And see the prey they juiced: Mice voles shrews hares Skunks moles who cares (me) Muskrat mink weasels birds Housecats snakes frogs word
What was once swallowed whole is Now called a bolus Skeletons perfect preserved Mouse for dinner Mole for dessert Look there's wildfowl Hear its stomach growl? He'll eat a rat Neat, after that Upchuck fur and bone Then back on the prowl Bring your headlamp Leave home your trowels Owl pellets Now we'll yell it: "OWL PELLETS!"
