Brave little Kevin

Kevin was a Tawny Owl
who was afraid to fly
it wasn't that he couldn't
he didn't like to be so high

His owner tried in vain
taking Kevin out each day
but when he let him go
Kevin wouldn't fly away

Then one day Kevin's mate
the feisty Barn Owl, Kyra
zoomed off on her daily hunt
and got tangled in telephone wire

Kevin panicked at the sight
of Kyra in distress
and dug down deep into his soul
for courage he possessed

She flapped and flailed
and squealed and squawked
til Kevin bold as brass
flew out like a brave hawk

'Don't worry, Kyra,' Kevin cried
trying not to look below
he flapped his wings and clenched his beak
to save his gung-ho beau

'You are so brave,' said Kyra, true
'to overcome your fear.'
'I'd do anything,' Kevin said
'to save your life, my dear.'
