John Lawless Poet Rhyme

Zebra

Two Zebra had a nasty chat
One said “You think you’re all of that
Because your stripes are white on black
And that is your defining fact”.

The other, shaded black on white,
Chuckled with a strange delight
“I believe your vision is in error
Stop looking in the river’s mirror.
