THE WALRUS AND I


     "Hello!" exclaimed the Walrus
"Isn't it just a lovely day?"
and as I stared at the stormy gray sky
I wasn't sure what to say

     I looked at him oddly
But then it came to me and I knew
why he found gray skies so lovely
He was grey too!

     "Actually," I said, "I prefer sunny places
over gray and gloomy towns
Besides sunshine makes me happy
but gray days bring me down"

     "I can see why you favor sunny days!"
he exclaimed as he stood by my side
"you like the warmth of the sun
because you have the warmth inside!"

     We walked through the gray skies
though this time there was little gloomy tone
I surmise gray skies aren't so bad after all
if you are not alone

     He accompanied me through the gray days
and I helped him through sunny skies
that is the story of two friends
