Unlikely Friends

"Unlikely Friends"- these TV shows confirm-
                 How animal acceptance helps us learn.
                                                       _by Poet

      Don't care if I'm a horse, and you, a cat;
      no matter that I'm big, and you are small.
      We both have heads and noses each can pat;
      I'm brown and sleek, and you, a gray puffball.

      No matter that I'm big, and you are small,
      I feel your love while we rub head-to-head.
      I'm brown and sleek, and you, a gray puffball, 
      though you're a barn cat- I'm a thoroughbred.

      I feel your love while we rub head-to-head
      as friendship flows within our beating hearts.
      Though you're a barn cat- I'm a thoroughbred;
      such lasting comfort our display imparts.

      As friendship flows within our beating hearts,
      we both have heads and noses each can pat.
      Such lasting comfort our display imparts;
      don't care if I'm a horse, and you, a cat.
