Down by the lane <br />Where the pumpkins grew <br />Lived six old men <br />Who only spoke Hebrew <br />They used to shut their eyes <br />And pretend to be blind <br />People said they were insane and <br />Some thing wrong with their mind <br />Once these six old man <br />Walked out past the lane <br />Out in the woods <br />They touched someone’s mane <br />They knew it was a lion <br />And instead of yelling “yike! ” <br />They thought that they would guess <br />What the lion really looked like <br />The first person touched its skin <br />And said it was like plush <br />The next person touched its tail <br />And said it was like a painting brush <br />The third person touched its mane <br />And said its like a broom <br />The fourth person touched its teeth <br />And said it will lead your life to doom <br />The fifth person touched its tongue <br />And said its like wet cotton <br />The sixth person touched its dead prey <br />And said lion eat things rotten <br />Now that you ‘ve heard these foolish myths <br />From a lion’s tail to its tooth <br />You know that only you and me <br />Are people who know the truth.<br /><br />Risha Ahmed (12 yrs)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/005-six-blind-men-and-an-elephant-oh-no-a-lion-a-tale/
