Have these people nothing to do
Except investigate the obvious
Costing thousands of pounds!
But no, they go their costly way!
This time discovering why owls
Can fly in silence.
All they need to do was ask
Any birdwatcher, even me.
I have known practically all my life
That owls fly silently
Because their feathers are so soft
They don’t disturb the air.
Can I be paid for this?
