Owl,

How?

How can it be that the Aves Rex of the night,

Lends it's title to the eagle; when dawn comes?

It hides away in the safety of a weathered, red barn

If the owl is so wise; why doesn't it rise above the eagle,

And claim the blue sky for it's own?

Because the eagles are the jocks - big and strong,

And the owls are the nerds - strong in the mind, but pale to the mighty eagle...

Funny, I've never been in a 'brick & mortar' school, yet I'm writing about 'jocks & nerds'. LOL
