Looking up the mouse decrees
There’s enough for you and me
The owl declines to nod assent
Knowing soon he’s due the rent
On futures based on clear blue sky
On dividends from cherry pie
He picks his beak with razor talon
Calculates the miles per gallon
Checks the angles by degrees
Then mouse (protesting) does he seize

It is a bit hard for an owl to not be an owl, regardless of the mouses wishes to not be a mouse to the owl.
Does this apply to humans?
I should imagine the mouse would be protesting.
You could assign this piece to many scenarios in life.
The last line has depth. Excellent.
The mouse didn't need to get involved IMHO.
The mouse should never have invested in the stock exchange.
Now I do hope you are not referring to me in the middle there ;-)
Owl, what owl? I don't see an owl.
"No such thing as an owl," said the mouse.
A less calculated, less brutal version here.
CherryPie: no way :)
Echo: your mouse is in denial ;]
Yodood: thanks I'll check it out
I would prefer to not be fodder for my government so yes i suppose it does apply to humanity as well.
'Tis to the point. The owl always demanding more and more, as he looks down upon the mouse so poor!
