The Owl on my Keyboard -
Owls and writers are all expected to be real smarty-pants.
Both of those critters inhabit my computer keyboard. Sometimes I wonder why it is that if owls are so smart, they are not also rich. Kind of like me, a would-be writer. Were I so doggone smart, how come I don't wallow in money and gold and the like instead of just a pile of words.
With that smarty-pants owl sitting there on the keyboard, finding the proper letters with which to write is not the easiest task in the world.
With that computer keyboard under his feet, dodging my fingers as I try to spell words correctly is somewhat of a nightmare for the owl.
Owls, as do writer-hopefuls, deserve whatever they get from both typing-fingers and from readers.
Who gives a hoot?

@Plethos - As you point out, owls tend to advise. My own advice to owls is to be hanging around my keyboard to hoot at me and at what I try to write but but to not leave their owl droppings on the keys. Now, THAT is philosopy that even an owl might understand. -Gus-

Maybe owls are thinking that earning money is not that smart. They have no taxes to pay, you know, and they perhaps think that a worm is better than a dollar ? I have not a owl but a panda on my keyboard, and there are times where I would like to be a panda
