THE HUMMER AND THE HORSE

A family tale

 

By Jim Kittelberger

 

 

Creations migrations once did

 

Err, one to water,

One to air.

 

The hummingbird and seahorse

were once brothers, I think,

Well, isnt it obvious,

Oh yes, of course.

 

Brothers no more

One up a tree, one in the sea

 

Makes it twice as

Amusing for you and me.

 

I see.
