Shiny Shades of Astray

A brave black sheep and a wintry white crow 
At midday moon got lost in the meadow. 
The duo shed odd differences with pride 
And found themselves as a groom and a bride. 

Black sheep’s family so thrilled to entwine, 
Gathered gayly to embrace new bloodline. 
Now the sheep and the crow coo in delight: 
Beware: not everything is black and white!
