Three Teachers and A Student Go Birding One Day...

Three teachers agreed to go owling one afternoon, in a campus nearby

One had finished teaching in the morning

One just finished an hour earlier that day

And one had a class still ongoing.

Three teachers agreed to meet, near the owl’s roost, mid-afternoon

One had a tasty snack while waiting

One came from a workout at a gym nearby

And one approached the two, walking.

Three teachers agreed to spot the owl, hiding somewhere in the tangles

One went for a closer look, not making any sound

One went for a wider view, walking away from the tree

And one decided to follow the poo, splattered on the ground

Three teachers observed the owl, sleeping on its perch

One got her camera, taking a shot or two

One observed it through his bins

And one stood quietly as he took an awesome video

Three teachers walked to the nightjar, on a nearby tree

One of them saw a familiar jizz 

'Twas a fellow birder crossing the street

But she was on her way to a biology quiz!

Four birders took the time

To spot the nightjar on the tree

And there it was, ignoring our party

Because it was just so very sleepy

Three teachers and a student say their goodbyes

Each going their separate way

One got two lifers while the others were content

To go birding during the day.
