The night
is dark
and cold.
A dog barks
periodically
because
it can't sleep.
A cow moos
from heaven
knows where
--and
one weird bird
beaks a peep
sheepishly,
as if
whatever
it had to say
were of no true
importance.

Larry, I had to smile when I read this..it's so true!  
There is always one bird after the others have all nestled in for the night
that has something to say...LOL.
Sort of...the last word.

I love this!

Little does the bird know,  but that little
peep is what we remember hearing...

Sometimes the big dog doesn't always get the
bone, eh?
