And near the forest stood a rose, <br />now spotted by two unicorns. <br />As rose observed the creatures pose <br />it flashed in anger all its thorns. <br /> <br />The unicorns began to sing <br />and spread, bilaterally, a wing. <br />The king of flowers, known as rose <br />said 'what a weird and ugly nose! ' <br /> <br />Both unicorns got raging mad <br />which made the situation bad. <br />Attacking quickly now the rose, <br />they soon collided, nose on nose. <br /> <br />And in the shuffle both felt faint <br />(you see, all roses have a saint) , <br />and neither did regain their spark <br />until the forest was too dark. <br /> <br />Try as it might, a unicorn <br />can't see in darkness. It is born <br />nightblind (it lacks the carotene) . <br />The two gave up and left the scene.<br /><br />Herbert Nehrlich<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/two-unicorns-and-a-rose/
