The Yawn

Description

Owlie, Owlie, sitting in a tree Please open your eyes and look at me! I'd like to take your picture if given the chance. But you just want to snooze all day perched upon your branch. I got excited when I saw you start to move, You shifted your weight and shook a wing, but then had big YAWN and didn't do a thing. So I gave up and called it a day while you were dreaming of flying away - after I'm long gone...
