Read this poem and express your views, feelings, opinions freely!! Hooting Owl Hooting owl sits on a tree branch Expecting a small lunch Meal runs quickly across the ground He swoops down to get it Attacks like a stealthy being Quiet as a calm breeze Surprise works best for this hunter Small game is his real treat Then later atop the high branch His belly full he hoots A pleasant sound for all to hear He compliments the night

What is rheumatism? Which body part gets affected when one suffers from rheumatism?
