Day 23: Zebra Question


Today, I'd like to share this photo that I took at our local zoo last summer...





And this little children's poem...



Zebra Question
by Shel Silverstein, A Light in the Attic


I asked the zebra,
Are you black with white stripes?
Or white with black stripes?
And the zebra asked me,
Are you good with bad habits?
Or are you bad with good habits?
Are you noisy with quiet times?
Or are you quiet with noisy times?
Are you happy with sad days?
Or are you sad with happy days?
Are you neat with some sloppy ways?
Or are you sloppy with some neat ways?
And on and on and on and on
And on and on he went.
I'll never ask a zebra
About stripes
Again.





Thanks for dropping by.
