Survival Stripes


Poetry Jam


striped ears - camouflage
an attempt to hide herself as a zebra
in the jungle

will the zebras detect a difference?
how stupid are zebras?
cuckoo eggs fool the reed warbler
humans are fooled by almost everything

she's in with a chance

    Ha ha, I doubt the zebra will be fooled. I was reading about zebras. Apparently one theory is that the different stripe patterns help one zebra recognize the other (when, in actuality, the patterns all look pretty much the same to me). And as I look at the ears I think "ouch."

    Well that is because you do not have zebra eyes. My striped ears are a zebra turn on:)

    Humans are fooled by most everything, but I've located YOU, me pretty, at long last. Heh heh.

    It's appearances that bamboozle us. You're right. Like the style of this. Great work.

    Everyone hides from something - usually not successfully in the long run. Well done.
