Owl

I don't have insomnia

I choose to be awake at night

I prowl the dark

With deadly, silent flight.


Raccoon

I don't have insomnia

Every night I stay awake

Looking for trash

Or something to take.


Mouse

I don't choose to be awake

What was that?

I thought I heard a sound

Like the stalking of a cat.


Tiger

I choose to be awake all night

Looking for my nighttime prey

Waiting for a chance meeting

With an animal I can slay.


Human

I don't choose to stay awake

I go at night to bed;

But no matter what I do

I lay awake instead.


All

We all know of night;

Some to sleep and others to stalk

Thanks for staying up tonight

And listening to our talk.
