Illusive Unicorns

I’ve never seen a unicorn, I do not know their source. I know PD has seen them Because she says she loves them. I think she fears someone would come To take her pets by force, So she protects her unicorns By telling no one of them. When Noah built his sturdy ark On that momentous day, Somehow he missed the unicorns Not knowing he’d messed up. But God with his all-seeing eye Watched as he sailed away And put two on a mountain top With drink and food for sup. They stayed there for a thousand years In perfect sweet content Without caring they’d been left behind They kicked their heels and played Without thought of loss or danger When all the others went. But food grew scarce and they must move To a land of heavy shade. If you should see a unicorn Be careful where you blab it. Remember he is in God’s care And there are folks who’s hope would be To get a cage and grab it. Convinced some money could be made From the unicorn you see. Only friends of unicorns allowed. Keep their secret, make PD proud. By: Joyce Johnson For Pd on her October 7th birthday. Happy Birthday dear friend. Love, Joyce

A fun poem to read. I find it interesting that there are so many different countries that have tales of these one horned beasts. I am sure if not today, they lived at some time in history.

About the unicorn's missing Noah's ark, that was the same thing the Irish Rovers sang in their hit song. This is a fanciful write which deserved major recognition in the contest. Congratulations.
