The Peacock And The Owl
The peacock and the owl
had met along the way
One might not think at all
they’d have something to say
The peacock, lush in plume
did prance for all to see
The owl said with a hoot
I’ll stay here in my tree
From where I sit, you silly thing
Your feathers do distract
The owl said as the peacock fumed
You’re wrong, and that’s a fact
It is my dress of fancy hue
that calls to creatures all
And yes, they come from far and wide
No matter big or small
You think you are so wise
With your surprise attack
If not for me, the peacock said
You might not find a snack
They got to thinking, maybe
They should work together here
The owl could see exactly where
The peacock should appear
With that, this most unlikely pair
Began to set up house
To seal their brand new partnership
They shared a tasty mouse!!
(You see, we all CAN get along)
