Who Knew

who knew? firstoff, i wish to say, but not overdo, that i never knew, what the new gnu knew he never really said very much, and i knew he wouldn't as such, since, being a new gnu he hadn't much clue 'bout what to do the previous gnu had a more worldly view from Kalamazoo journeyed east to Timbuktu beyond Katmandu south, down to old Peru been many places, wore out many a shoe but always believed that he'd come through he got entangled with a bit of a shrew a South American sheep, a hot-blooded ewe that took every opportunity to scold and spew venomous accusations that were mostly untrue she really raised a big hullabaloo he, being the good gnu we all knew tried to smooth her feathers, to gently subdue her wild angers towards that wildebeest but, to little avail to say the least yet it was the best the old gnu knew to do he bleated that his love for her was true she neighed loudly that no, they were through she saw him now, from a whole different view said she was leaving, that he should not pursue for all she cared, he could turn into glue she knew now she wanted the new gnu to woo the new gnu knew amorously what would quickly ensue but couldn't overcome with analytical review certainty of grief from passions point of view love's cliff came careening into abysmal view "Ewe are what I want" the new gnu cried anew in turn the ewe replied "i will always love you" we'll build a life we always wanted, long overdue have many children, a whole herd, a gnu ewe crew we'll be happy ever after, in our own petting zoo the new gnu thought he'd just follow through but things went awry, let's say, far askew the new gnu knew he'd met his own Waterloo it wasn't long, you know, 'fore the ewe went skidoo without even so much as a fond adieu then the new gnu and the old gnu began to renew a friendship, from which they both, had withdrew i don't wish to insinuate, and not misconstrue the bond of companionship the gnus lovingly grew when old bonds are severed another comes on cue now the gnus know what all beings should too happiness and contentment depends on your view you never know what the turn of your screw in pursuit of a felicity, unknown hitherto gets new gnu possibilities coming out of the blue ...thank you... © Goode Guy 2013-05-31
