the owl and the wilderbeest

~~the owl and the wildebeest sat in a pond
best friends forever they sang in the song
the wildebeest turned and said to the owl
why are we friends he said with a scowl
you are smart and wise for you are a owl
the owl looked into his big brown eyes
yes you are correct yes I am wise
for I am your friend because of your heart
I am your friend because you are smart
the wildebeest turned with a shock
I am not smart  why do you mock
the owl had a smile and then he said
my dear friend wildebeest
its your words that touch me the words from your head
the wildebeest smiled and winked at the owl
our friendships for ever because of our words
for some of the animals think we are absurd
we share our wisdom right here on the pond
from both our views we find the truth
I love our friendship  said the
for I am a wildebeest and you are a owl
