Three Owls

I've once gathered three owls on the balcony,
each spoke on their favourite tree.
Said one: "Oaks are important to alchemy,
and that is most lovely to me."

"Since all birches are breezy and light,
I see much better at night."
Off the second owl's coat fell yellowish dust,
the third owl cleared its throat to adjust.

"Mine is concrete and plastic, with heating and food,
there's people that come by and treat me to mice,
no hunting, or stalking, or other things that I should
probably do, since I'm an owl, which is nice."
