The Walrus and the Starfish

by damommy

The Walrus and the Starfish walked
together hand-in-hand,
and as they walked, the two friends talked
as they strolled ‘cross the sand.

Said Walrus to the Starfish, “Why
did we not ever think
of how stars hang high in the sky
but pebbles always sink?

“How boats can float atop the sea,
and ducks can swim there, too;
an acorn grows into a tree,
and horses put on shoes.

“Who was it thought of big balloons,
just why don’t pigs have wings?
I want to know who writes the tunes
that every birdie sings.

“My pointy pal, please tell me all
the answers if you know,
that some of us have only hooves,
and some of us have toes.”

The Starfish said, “My whiskered friend,
I do not have a clue.
If I find out, you can depend
I’ll share it all with you.”
