The two were different as could be as anyone could surely see <br />One was tall and thick and white, the other black and thin and slight <br /> <br />To look at them it would be clear to any stranger standing near <br />That neither would think of the other as a friend or as a brother <br /> <br />And yet when chance would have them meet while simply walking down the street <br />The two engaged in friendly chatter as if nothing else did matter <br /> <br />This was truly kind behavior fitting for a saint or savior <br />The apex of humanity invoking kind civility <br /> <br />I would be happy to report that they were people of some sort <br />But then I would be a deceiver, they were poodle and retriever.<br /><br />Richard Lackman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-strangers-passing-on-the-street/
