The owl and the girl

 

It looks like

this owl hopes

he can learn more

than he already knows.

 

Therefore

he always sits with

the girl after school

and reads a bit.

 

As they’re together

like that every day

they’ll, as it happens

sometimes,

 

start to look like each other.

Do you think they know?

 

I think they do,

but they don’t bother.
