Sunlight and Shadows


The Race

Four and twenty blackbirds

Sitting in a tree

Picked a peck of peppers

And took them all for free

You can talk to me til

You are blue in the face

But do not judge until you see

The tortoise win the race

The tortoise is the hero

The hare is the fool

In this tale but do not take

This as all life’s rule

The moral of the story

If you really care

Is do not judge another’s place

Unless you have been there
