Wonderful Rhinoceros


The wonderful rhinoceros grazing and chewing cud may seem quite strong to all of us but he's merely flesh and blood. While flesh and blood are weak and frail and susceptible to disease the rhino seems to never fail from his horn down to his knees. His feet may catch on jagged stone and cause a snorted breath but it's best to leave him well alone like a ram up on a cleft. A rhinos day is lazy as he trudges to and fro but he'd guide around that daisy rather than trample it below There are lessons to be easily learned from powers less than he but mankind's usually quick to spurn and reject their own humanity.

Having become late deafened, I now use poetry as a form of bridging the comm. barrier.
