Poems A-Z Zebra

6/6/2010

 The Zebra she walks through the African dry

Unaware of the mare, under Montana sky

A World far away yet somehow so near

With similar interest and similar fear

The Zebra is free with her family to roam

The mare has a stall, to call all her own

They look much the same, but for stripes on the one

The mare’s glossy coat shines in the sun

The Zebra is alert for danger is near

The mares grown accustom, to a much different fear

A cat for the one, is an enemy to guard

To the other, a cat is a friend…who sits in the yard

To the Zebra a dog, is a Hyena pack

To the mare he helps, put the cattle out back

So both carry a burden, through the long everyday

One careless mistake, with their lives they will pay

A broken leg turns, the mare into glue

One slip by the Zebra, and her family is through

So the mare and the Zebra, may not share the same stripe

But well connected they are…in truth and not tripe
