GREAT HORN OWL DBA SCREECH OWL SHIVERS.

SCREECH OWL SHIVERS: by Tom Stanley Janca

I heard the screech owl way over there.

It didn't scare me so I didn't care.

It was over there, then somewhere else,

calling in the night all by itself.

Then! "ssccrreeeecchh", It was so loud right next to me.

The night was so dark I couldn't see.

Then all of a sudden behind my back.

Another screech! I was certain of an attack.

Shivers went up my spine.

My hair stood straight out for such a long time.

I let out a yell to scare them away.

But they didn't scare me, no, not anytime no way.
