I'm told it's as he's rather frisky. .......wow! a line with 3 apostrophes, AND all of them used correctly! ! ! ! you should be teaching English! the rhyming is very nice; it might even have been written by me. and, more importantly, I can understand the poem …………… unless of course this poem is really about Australian politics! my favorite lines: “No harm comes from tooth or beak, Our friendship is quite unique. We're a shining example of how kin, May each wear a very different skin.” ………. but how would you feel about taking the first two lines from the next stanza and moving them up to end this stanza? like this: “No harm comes from tooth or beak, Our friendship is quite unique. We're a shining example of how kin, May each wear a very different skin. We may not look like one another, But we share the same mother.” ………………………just a thought. :) yeah, thanks, Diane. bri :)

We're a shining example of how kin, May each wear a very different skin. The story of this amazing friendship between the magpie and terrier is so interesting! Friendships can emerge between people and also animals of different dispositions and even of totally different breed!
