There once
was a zebra,
Who had more than just black & white to his name,
He trotted down the abandoned street,
Looking for a place to hide away.
The other animals saw him,
They pointed fingers and laughed,
“You’re a real odd-ball aren’t you?”
Sneered the nasty cat,
“Well you can’t be from the zoo,
So then where are you from, the rainbow?? “
They laughed. They laughed again.
The humble zebra,
Just looked down and kept trotting away,
“My friend…”, said the wise dog,
“…You’re quite the canvass to the painter”,
“I am, actually!...”,replied the zebra,
Speaking for the foremost time,
“…my master was a blind artist,
but a very good artist he was,
Mere help and guidance is what I gave him,
He trusted me with his life,
as I did with mine to him.
He told me he was dying,
So he forcibly made me go,
These many colors I have on me are memories,
And I wear them proud, to show.”
The dog, after this,
Was touched by the animal’s good heart,
“Stay strong my friend,
You will find peace”,he said.
And just as he finished,
Not a moment too soon,
Came a man,
Running to catch up,
Panting but smiling.
“My, my..are’nt you a sight to see,
You look spontaneous dear one,
But now a favor to ask, I must,
My daughter you see,
Is fond of animals,
But her eye-sight was defied at birth,
Her next passion follows art,
But the child needs a guiding friend,
And you dear zebra,
Just suit the part!
Its not fair of me to just take you,
Cuz good friendship cant be forced,
But to you I will make an offer,
I promise you a new home,
A life of comfort you will have.
And all I ask in return,
Is you be that comfort to my little angel.”
The zebra now,
Consoled and moved,
Willingly went with the man,
A new home he will have now,
Along with a new friend to care.
The wandering cat who saw this,
Was confused and Grew green with envy at once,
“How’d he manage to do that? He was nothing but a freak!”
“His advantage, oh wandering cat,
Was that he dared to be different!”
After much thought,
The envious cat,
Rolled in a wad of old paint,
“Now all I need to do..”,he said,
“…is to wait for my new owner to come!”
“HaHaHa!..”,the wise dog laughed,
“..oh cat you’ve gone too far….
Find your own unique feature,
Cuz you’ll never be the multicolored zebra!
Who had more than just black & white to his name,
He trotted down the abandoned street,
Looking for a place to hide away.
