Night Patrol

Silently creeping

No one around

Being careful

Not to make a sound

Eyes of night vision

Stealthy body slips away

Waiting patiently

For his midnight prey

Owl ears rotate

Hearing a sound

He takes it all in

Ready to pounce

Hiding around the corner

He’s ready and waiting

To kill the prey

That is coming

It rounds the corner

He jumps and hangs on

A bite to its leg

It will soon be coming down

He looks up ready

To take his prey down

But the leg shakes him off

And continues to prowl

He runs after it

Not letting it get away

Too late, it closed the door

Only up for a bathroom break
