Canary On a Limb

One sunny afternoon amid a snowstorm 
appeared a lovely rainbow.

A canary on a limb chirped a sweet tune, 
but he had no voice and was tone-deaf.

The small blind hound below witnessed 
the whole show.

If you doubt the story, call up the deaf 
mouse that’s studying to be a chef.

Hi Tom, I got the idea from Charlie’s example for his contest. I hope it's not too similar. I had no clue about this contest. I really appreciate your continued support. Have a great day:-)Alexis

That ending line makes the poem on this topic of "nonsense". Well done Alexis.
