Hooty & Sooty
Further on in the next show cage are two sleepy occupants,
Hooty and Sooty, two baby Barred Owls, give out with slow even chants.
Eyes open wide, they’re a picture so wise, but most often you see them asleep,
For night is their time to hunt and to howl. Daytime they just sit and weep
For their freedom is lost. They paid a high cost. A free meal they get every day,
But listen now, chum, to why they’re so glum, they no longer can fly free and play.
