Day 155: The Puppy and the Guppy

The Puppy and the Guppy
By Batsheva 5/5/10

A puppy and a guppy
Really wanted to be friends
And they only had one problem
But it's one that never ends

For the puppy lives on land
And must always breathe the air
While the guppy lives in water
And he never can leave there

Whenever there's a problem
Try your best to work things out
But if the problem's something
You can't do something about

Remember that silly little pup
And that funny, foolish fish
Who really wanted to be friends
And shared an impossible wish

To be something besides themselves
Each to be with the other
Wishing that they'd had each other's
Species for a mother

For if you know a thing cannot be done
It's a waste of time to try
Like the puppy and the guppy
Who just had to wave goodbye
