Long ago There were two friends: One was a bird With great wings, And the other Was a respected Tyrannosaurus rex. The bird flew majestically And was envied by most animals, The tyrannosaurus terrified All creatures Except his friend: the bird. Time passed and Things changed. The environment became Hostile to both friends: the bird and the rex. One day the bird Went to visit his friend. “Tye, we cannot move anywhere, We have to adapt or we will die”. Said the bird. “Never! I will never adapt! I will never give up Being respected and feared”. Answered the rex. Years later The rex disappeared. The bird is still living: he adapted. Now he is an awkward animal: a penguin. He lost his beautiful wings He cannot fly any more But….he “survived”. |

ghirgag - this is SO true! Sometimes it seems that just as I have life well in hand, it throws something new at me, and I have to learn to adapt all over again. Excellent writing!  Troy Beautiful, Thought-Provoking Poetry http://www.h-systems.net/p1.htm |
