A northern wind and lighthouse, <br />Are arguing once more, <br />Their quarrel seems to be about, <br />Whom better keeps the shore. <br /> <br />“I have brought these sailors in! ” <br />The gale claims with a cry, <br />Then the beacon, to the wind: <br />“Without light, they would die” <br /> <br />Their fight continues for a bit, <br />Till the wind spits and howls, <br />For he grows tired of 'insolence', <br />And blows the lighthouse down. <br /> <br />Now shards of rubble line the shore, <br />The wind has won it's fight. <br />And though he's victor of his war, <br />The shore has lost the light.<br /><br />Lazarus Knix<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-northern-wind-and-lighthouse/
