The Owl and the Lark

Dearest Night Owl,
there is no need to howl
or screech like a ghost
if that would please you most.

It's still eight days until Halloween
 and other adventures may lie in between
in case you're planning to make a broomstick scene.

My own electric broom arrived today
 and it is still within its box,
but I don't think it's strong enough to carry me away
or even one of those lighter crocks

that in Florida so abound
like aging dogs within a pound..

I guess I'll just have to depend on you
when Halloween Eve comes due
and hope that til then we'll both be true
And able to perform on cue

And in our costumes of black and orange
not look too weird or strange,
though with all the billions on earth to choose from,
how did we Two wind up at opposite ends of the spectrum?

The Lark,
HZ L, 10/22/15
