Poem
Poor little Zena zebra was feeling oh so sad She was born an albino, which made her look bad Zena desperately wanted to fit in with the others And have a stripy body like her sisters and brothers Zena thought hard and came up with a cunning plan She would paint some stripes, so she’d have great élan Zena went shopping in a local hardware store Bought some black paint for the stripes she’d adore Her stripes were brushed on by a trusted friend But quickly the can of paint came to an end Sadly Zena hadn’t got any more money Her half painted body looked rather funny How the other zebra’s laughed at poor Zena They called her names; they couldn’t be meaner But good luck was on little Zena’s side that day The rain lashed down and washed the paint away For Zena had purchased watercolour paint Now Zena’s back to white and she has no complaint She stands out in the crowd because she is unique Yes she’s different from the others but her look is oh so chic Zena stands proudly in her white coat which shines so bright She is delighted to say not everything in life is black and white Moral of the story it is our differences that make us unique A delightful Children’s fable Contest Sponsored by Carol Eastman.
