Two shadows met <br />one afternoon <br />at a tea dance <br />where ladies swoon. <br /> <br />One was a tall <br />quite lithesome ghost, <br />the other short <br />and rather gross. <br /> <br />The sun went in, <br />the rain poured down <br />and so two shadows <br />sank and drowned <br /> <br />but nonetheless <br />they had their day <br />but shadows all <br />must fade away.<br /><br />Ruth Walters<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-pair-of-shadows/
