Early bird/night owl

The sun is for
Accountants
And lawyers
And analysts
And marketers
And moguls
And cheery talk show hosts
The moon is for
The artists
The poets
The writers
The musicians and
The jazz singers with souls full of blues.
And so among these owls, I find a similar brood.

I am fond of the stars
I feel that they understand me
The street lights and the night slick
And the moon glow and such
The hum of the midnight is much more sweet 'cause
All them busy bodies are not out on the street
They are nesting and resting and fixing good things to eat
Yes, I love the night...
But I envy their sleep
I guess, that means we're even.
