Decreed, “There is no sun.”
For this pronouncement, they made signs
To share with everyone.
Inside the woods, an elephant
Who saw the signs concluded,
“The murkiness beneath the trees
Just proves a sun’s excluded.”
The owl, who squinted at the signs
Beneath the moon’s diffusion,
Averred believers of the sun
Were suffering delusion.
A little bear, inside a cave
For winter’s hibernation,
Concurred with words upon the sign,
Expressing some frustration.
An ostrich told about the signs
Accorded they were right.
“With my head in the sand,” he said,
“It’s always dark as night.”
The rabbits in their hutches and
The squirrels in leafy trees
Declared the signs a sentiment
With which they could agree.
The lion, though he saw the sun,
Put forth his point of view.
“If I can’t touch it, it’s not real;
I say the signs are true.”
The sun awakened with the dawn,
Alive with colors richly drawn.
The sun awakened with the dawn,
Ignored the signs. and shone right on.
